I've seen this short film a couple of times. I am very impressed. Like several others it deals with some heavy issues in a surprisingly short period of time. Family honor, how to define such honor, dignity, honesty, who is family, how is a family made in the social meaning of the word family, how to grow up with this, what this means for the family - heady stuff. However, it deals with it very well. For all of her brief appearance Sandy Sidhu does a good job of the boys' mother. The reason is she suggests a strong hint that she knows the reason for the problem that starts the story (a reason that the plotline suggests is NOT her characters fault in the slightest). All in a good film. A worthy watch if only for the smart way it deals with how to resolve family issues.
