This is about a young teen whose mother died unexpectedly leaving him on his own with no money and no family as his father's family rejects him for being gay. This is a sad story as he struggles to survive and the attempts he makes to improve his life as well as the mistakes. The movie has no ending, nothing is resolved at all. The camera work is also quite 'bouncy' at times, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it did distract from some scenes.
