A beautifully conceived and filmed coming of age story, Kelly Fyffe-Marshall’s picturesque evocation of a young boy in Jamaica meditates forcefully on the power of place, love and boyhood. Wide-eyed and unassuming, Jamal lives with his single hardworking mother Neesha in a small shanty house in a rural town. Unbeknownst to his mom, Jamal is being bullied in school. Upon fighting back and being suspended for a week, Neesha takes Jamal into town to get his first passport in order for him to travel alone to Toronto, Canada, to live with his grandmother. Under the weight of the decision, Jamal flees. Throughout his journey, he visits the grave of his father, encounters violent bullies, and seeks solace with his friends around town who offer their perspectives on his move, ultimately leading him to shape his own and strengthen his resolve for his journey ahead.
