Run time: 39 min. | Canada, Honduras | Language: Spanish, English | Subtitled
On a Honduran mountainside overlooking vast fields of sugar cane, a six-year-old boy named Marlon dreams of becoming an artist. Twelve-year-old Inri dreams of attending university. Little Yorleni simply dreams of having a family. Meet the children of the Montaña de Luz orphanage, their lives a living testament to the beauty and innocence of childhood in the face of adversity beyond their years.

With artistry and honesty, the camera paints a stirring portrait of a loving community where nothing is truly certain but hope and where each birthday is a celebration of dreams fulfilled and dreams to come.

The kids in this documentary are amazing. In one scene: one of the boys playfully walks his fingers up the arm of his blind grandma...you glow from the mutual adoration, respect, & love that they share. These children are inspiring!
