Desert Son

A boy is abandoned in the heart of the desert by his step father. He takes refuge with two orphans who live in an abandoned mining town. The three kids struggle to survive through series of increasingly desperate and serious crimes. They meet their downfall after a murder weighs too heavy upon their conscience.

My take

A haunting coming-of-age tragedy about three kids pushed to the moral edge. This is heavy, uncompromising storytelling that lingers long after the credits—for viewers ready to sit with uncomfortable truths about survival and guilt.
