Scarborough

In the low-income neighborhood of Scarborough, survival is a daily negotiation. Sylvia, a young mother, fights to keep her head above water while her daughter Hazel takes tentative steps in a local resource center. Nearby, Bing grapples with his own demons as a single father, his son Liam finding solace in books and rare moments of quiet. Their lives intersect at a community hub where an educator named Hilda bears witness to their struggles, hopes, and small victories. This is a microcosm where tenderness pushes through cracks of exhaustion, and the children's futures hinge on a fragile balance between an indifferent system and human connection.
