Description
Raam arrived in Ontario 7 years ago in hopes to secure a safe future for his mother and brother. After failing to secure an office job for years, he decided to double down on his passion and landed a job as a director at a failing Mom and Pop Theater. He has always been the caring, responsible older brother, but after years away from home and no PR, he’s beginning to fear that his time in Canada has been for nothing. 10 minutes before opening night of their latest play, Raam finds out his hometown is being bombed and that his mother’s unreachable. Raam’s immigration status depends on whether or not the play happens, but at the same time he’s unsure if his mother’s alive.
