Abandoned once more in his life, Arden will struggle to find his own voice.
User review:
A powerful message. A delicate use of story . Brilliant performance of the young actor. A great short film about art, teacher, dessilution, need and force to be yourself. An admirable, gentle and precise portrait of childhood.

What a truly disgusting movie. The moral is if you take a lonely, abandoned boy then take away the one person who matters to him, then torture him, you can bully him into doing whatever you want. What kind of bullshit lesson is that?
Thank you
