Description | "Tells the story of a runaway boy and the companion he finds to accompany him on his travels. The young boy's journey is both a 'running away' and a 'journey to find his home'. In a world of shifting family structures, global migration, the legacy of dispossession, wars and refugee flight, what does family and home really mean?" |
