A film about the breadwinner and her family, paying tribute to unsung heroes who carry the burden of the dreams of their loved ones on their shoulders. It is difficult for me to describe what I felt while watching the film, but I am grateful to the actors and crew, as well as those who wrote this masterpiece. For me, it was a discovery for Filipinos that working abroad, away from family, is not an easy task, especially if your whole family depends on you. As an OFW worker, I can say that some of the walls where Weiss is in Taiwan are real. Although I have not experienced this myself, some of my colleagues worked day and night to feed their families, and it breaks my heart every time. I hope Filipinos will someday understand that OFWs are not ATMs. Their money is not unlimited, and their future is not guaranteed. Visas can expire at any time, and if that happens, who will represent them?
