This multi award-winning documentary tells us the story of Toto (10) and his sisters Ana (17) and Andreea (15) who conquer life on their own during their mother's imprisonment. Toto passionately learns dancing, reading and writing, while his sisters try to keep the family together in a world that has long forgotten what the innocence of childhood should be. What happens when we discover that we can get more from life than our parents have to offer?

Toto Horvat’s story tells us about the importance of art and education in shaping the future generations and empowering our youth to be change makers, against all odds. Toto came to Seattle for the 2ndedition of ARCS Summer Camp for Romanian heritage students, hosted on UW Campus. His internship was sponsored by the UiPath Foundation, whose executive director Raluca Negulescu-Balaci will attend the screening and Q& A session to lead a debate about inspiring models of social change.
