As Ximena prepares for her mother Elena's birthday, she struggles with the harsh reality of Elena's deteriorating health. When faced with the inevitability of a dying parent, how do you embrace the present?


From our NewGate School Global Campus Youth Jury:

Through joy and sadness, a daughter must come to terms with a mother’s illness and remember to find the light in the life that they have been given.

- Nadia, 10th Grade, NewGate Global School Youth Jury member


WHAT WE LOVE:

The relationship between a daughter and her dying mother can be joyous if you let it happen.
