Logline
A phrase, taught for comfort, returned by a stranger
A deadly border crossing separates a young boy from his mother, leaving him alone in the desert with a damaged phone and four words she taught him: never give up.
He holds onto them as more than comfort — a command he's afraid to fail. As exhaustion sets in, an old motivational video plays the same phrase back to him, and his mother’s words start to mean something new.
