The hum of the Sun

"After burying their sister and mother, two brothers embark on a journey to the city in search of their only remaining family. On the brink of manhood, Ash must protect eight-year-old Zuko, who does not speak, his words stuck somewhere between his thoughts and his mouth.

When Ash finally realises who he is, - and who he is not - he must make his first authentic choices as an independent being. But can he offer his brother the same freedom, the same choices, in the face of those who have mapped out Zuko's future?"--
