Воспитанник / Foster Child.

Тельма, ее муж Дадо и двое сыновей-тинейджеров живут в бедном районе Манилы. Они зарабатывают тем, что местная патронатная служба передает им на время брошенных младенцев - пока им не найдут иностранных усыновителей. Однажды в семье Тельмы появляется 3-летний мальчик по имении Джон-Джон, которого должны усыновить американцы. И Тельма понимает, что не может просто так расстаться с этим приемышем. 

John-John has been a foster child in the family of teenagers Gerald and Yuri since he was two months old, but now at 3 years of age, he’s going to be adopted by a well-to-do American family. In documentary style, we follow the last few days of his stay with his foster family, seeing in particular how much love there actually is in the impoverished family. The Manila slum where they live harbors many such families, and we follow around the care worker who runs things: it is clear she has a heavy case load but she also has a great deal of compassion for the people she works with (provided they really do take good care of the kids). The kids themselves always flock around her when she drops by, and we realize she has a hard but necessary job. Yuri goes to deliver the boy with his Mom and the case worker to the Americans when the evening finally comes...and this is when we realize just how difficult it is for his mother Thelma to give up these youngsters time after time as they move on to new lives. All in all, it’s a very moving film, which becomes more incisive as time move on...
