The decision of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to leave their modest comforts in the Philippines for the promise of a brighter future in Canada is examined through the raw and intimate lens of group therapy. This documentary captures the emotional struggles of parents striving to provide for their families back home, only to face the unexpected challenge of reconnecting with their children, who are also grappling with their new lives in Canada.
