is there sun in the room?
"can anyone see the sun?" - says the father. His kid's life makes sense now.
"can anyone see the sun?" - the blinds on the windows are down. The screen on the wall is waiting for its first projection. A face - ageless young face of a dead boy.
At the school for teenagers with behavioural issues father talks about the son that died of gang violence at 20. About bad choices, brutality of gang life. On his face there is suffering of loss and joy of may be helping someone...
His kid is alive in this moment of remembering, alive in transmission of this everyday truth.
This life makes sense now.
It makes sense because one or more kids in a room might hear him:
"can anyone see the sun?"
