Elena is a single mother and is dependent on social services. Her son, Tom, has behavioral difficulties and is stigmatized at school as a “problem child”. The father’s absence is part of the complicated bond between them. Tom will be diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and treated for that condition. However, a freak accident will put his mother on guard against psychiatric medication. Her refusal to continue to give him medication will cause social services to threaten to remove him from custody.
