In a makeshift camp on Diego Garcia, a British military base, a mother named Shanthi strives to maintain a sense of normalcy for her two young children while living in confinement. Rescued after their boat sank during an attempted journey to Canada, the family faced years of surveillance and limited freedoms. Despite harsh living conditions and a lack of formal education, Shanthi created a learning environment and found ways to cultivate plants and celebrate festivities. Their recent transfer to the UK marks a significant change after years of hardship at the isolated camp.
