Director's Statement
My grandfather, on his death bed, asked me when I would have kids. For him, this was paramount, as I was the last male Ferro who could pass on his name to future generations. It got me thinking about legacy and the significance of leaving your mark on the world. This is the angle from which I decided to talk about the Little Sisters of the Holy Family, a joyful community of nuns who, vis-à-vis their remarkable way of looking at life, are going through a similar quandary, albeit on a much larger scale.
