Reverse Motion

At the center of this existential drama lie the figures of the Mother and the Son. One day, a mother is informed that her only son, who is serving in a military combat zone, has gone missing in action. A soldier who served alongside her son soon arrives to confirm that he has probably been killed. Nothing interrupts the everyday course of events. When the mother notices a homeless boy – an immigrant worker with an injured hand – she takes him in. But she is unaware that in doing so she has decided the fate of her son, who is still alive and soon to return home. —Academia-rossica.org
