A mother wakes up at 3 am to her feverish baby girl and decides to head to the hospital accompanied by her eight-year old son. The taxi stops in front of a Bridge and the driver tells the mother to cross it where the hospital is in the other end. As the family crosses nearly half the bridge, suddenly the mother can’t find her son. What happens next is the story of five hours of searching for hope, encountering obstacles, realizing loss and dealing with it.
