This brilliant work is ever relevant, hinting at the highly volatile environment which brews the flowers of the next generation. It startles you, make you walk after being paralysed, relieves you from the excruciating pain it gave. It might be a painful watch but a necessary one, a reflection of our society, our neighbourhood, our livelihood, the parenthood, the childhood and every hood possible.
