Amari, a 35-year-old father, moves into an unfinished flat with his two young sons, facing an uphill battle over a tough first weekend. As he wrestles with the emotional and financial weight of providing for his family, feelings of shame and inadequacy test his resolve. Amid the struggles of masculinity and fatherhood, Amari fights to be the strong role model his boys need, even as he’s barely keeping it together.
