Ratings and reviews

This is an authentically heartbreaking story between a young boy and his grandmother, driven by his deep desire to have a better life. It beautifully touches on every aspect of affection and love that exists between a grandmother and her grandson, and so much more that I won’t reveal to avoid any spoilers. The emotional bond, the tenderness, and the unspoken sacrifices are portrayed in a way that feels honest and deeply human.
