When Morning Comes (2000) Online

This film is exquisite. It packs more into nineteen minutes than many feature films achieve. I have had the opportunity to see this film more than once, and it always pulls me right back in to the emotional quagmire that is a family coping with addiction. Each character gets their due. We come to understand the conflicts of the mother who tries to balance everyone's needs, the father struggling with his addiction and his responsibilities to his son, and the child whose desires are at once so near and so far. Very beautiful, quiet, and radiating strength.
