Summary
Sixteen-year-old Lebanese-Australian Billal is struck by a car in the aftermath of fighting between Anglo-Australian and Lebanese youths on a state housing estate in south-west Sydney. Billal is hospitalised with permanent brain damage. The film follows Billal's long fight back to some sort of health, and the stresses on his family through this period as they try to come to terms with what has happened to their son, and at the same time struggle to be relocated to another, safer suburb.--Kanopy
