Summary:

Shot over a three year period, this emotionally wrenching story reveals the bond that develops between two brothers who long to be reunited with their mother. Despite the neglect and disappointment they suffer, these extraordinary boys never give up hope that they will some day live with their mother and be a family again. The film chronicles the mother's agonizing battle with crack addiction. This powerful portrayal of a family torn apart by addiction will resonate with social workers, counselors, family therapists and those training in the helping professions.
