HALLELUJAH

By Victor Gabriel

CHETTY and PAPER (30s) are two brothers who refuse to grow up. But due to unforeseen circumstances, they are now in charge of their nephew HALLELUJAH (13), a strange book, book quoting black boy and their quiet niece LILA (7). Sitting in the backyard, supposedly watching their niece and nephew, the two brothers become so distracted that they do not notice when Hallelujah attempts suicide. What follows is a funny, moving story about family and the people we have left behind and the people who are still with us.
