Village Keeper
After life’s precarious scale tips her fortune back into poverty, Jean relocates herself and her children back home to live with her mother in the community housing project where she grew up. Living in constant fear of everything that could go wrong in her and her family’s life, a violent occurrence in their neighbourhood leads Jean down a path that allows her to speak on her family’s generational chains of silence and finally put herself first.
