Pebbles

Pebbles

An angry man barges into a school to retrieve his son. He takes the boy out of school and they get on a bus to the neighboring village. It turns out that the mother left them and went back to her mother's house and that is where the son and father are headed. When the pair reaches the village it turns out that the mother left early in the morning back to her husband's house. The husband fights with his wife's family and threatens to kill the wife upon going back to his house. The son tears up the paper money they have to prevent the father from going back by bus. So they walk back towards their village in the afternoon heat. During the walk the son loses a few things and finds a few things such as a pebble and a puppy. The father comes across certain elements that he can't explain. It makes him question his own mortality and dents his bravado. By the time they reach home the father is worn out. The father learns that the mother has gone to fetch water. He sits down to eat that which his wife has prepared for him. The son lets his baby sister play with his new puppy and places the new pebble on top of his collections of pebbles.
