esser lives in Chichigalpa, Nicaragua, in the middle of where sugarcanes are produced. The wooden houses and huts in this area are in poor condition because they are built on dusty and heated ground.

Jesser’s father is sick and suffers from severe kidney failure, like many other men in the village who cut sugarcanes. Unfortunately, this is the only work on offer. Jesser, as the eldest son, will probably have to do the same work as his father in the future. He wants to change his fate and is trying his utmost best to plan another future for himself. Will he ever succeed?
