The trailer... or maybe I should say teaser intro of this film shows African children following a Caucasian man in a Jeep on a dirt road. The film also opens with this Doctor working at a Red Cross aid station in Africa, so it was pretty safe to assume this film would take place in Africa. Well it doesn't, this is really meant to show that two fathers, both doctors, have to spend time away from their children back home as they work some length of a "shift" in Africa.
The story actually is about anger. Yes anger. Kids getting bullied in school, a boy losing his mother, children going through divorce, doctors making difficult decisions. Anger is an over simplification, but I can't easily remember a film that drew me in so much that my heart was racing wanting a father to fight back, wanting a kid to fight back. It might test your Christian principles of turning the other cheek.
I don't want to say too much, because if you watch a foreign film, than unlike more than a few of the past years, you should watch the Oscar/Golden Globe winner.
