El Otro Tom: Elena is a single mother dependant on Social Services. Her son Tom has behaviour issues and is stigmatised at school as a ‘problem child’. An absent father further complicates their difficult relationship. Tom is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and given psychiatric medication, but a strange accident alerts his mother as to their side effects. When she refuses to continue administering the drugs to him, Social Services threaten to take Tom from her.
