film details screenings reviews

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.

Rated 5.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 sethlikesmovies 1:02 AM		This short felt like it was the kids who were telling the story, which is what gave it the power and emotion it needed. They were the reason for the film and they carried it very well.
