SULAM (The Ladder)
Description
Twelve year-old Alma and her mother are recent immigrants to Central Florida. On a tense morning before a school exam, they wake up to find part of the ceiling in their apartment leaking and journey to buy a ladder at a local hardware store. What starts out as a simple shopping trip, however, quickly escalates. As Alma refuses to help translate and aggressively removes herself from the situation, boiling tensions test their relationship and co-dependence. (11 mins)
