Story

Locky is angry at his mother who seems to abandon and neglect him. When he was still very young, she pretended that he was not her biological son to be able to entrust him to a home for minors.

In order to contain this overflow of emotions, he practices judo and percussion.

One day, his mother suddenly decided to take him back. Locky faced his stepfather’s alcoholism and brutality. Frightened, he managed to contact TARA who encouraged him to talk with police and brought him to the juvenile judge.

From a graphic point of view

Minimalist from the graphic point of view, the movie uses shapes, silhouettes, and colorwork to showcase the story. The intensity of it is mostly given by the sound.

The Story behind the fiction

TARA designed the homes with the aim of bringing empowerment, dignity, and hope to traumatized children from Delhi. A home in TARA looks like a regular home, where 20 children live together, in a place where they feel like they belong; they explore their individuality and grow in a safe and nurturing environment, focused on their well-being and care.

TARA keeps a limited number of children with the aim of providing as much as individual attention to each child, and during this process of adapting to the new environment, the children start to understand their very worth.

The staff in TARA is well trained to deal with children so that no further damage is done to them. Children’s mental health is taken seriously, regular counseling both internal and external is provided according to the need.

Not only the children are helped in the healing process but they are also equipped to protect them from being victims of future traumas by creating awareness and encouraging autonomy.
