SYNOPSIS
Yoyong (10) together with his siblings, Darwin (14) and Abet (12) work as child gold miners in Mt. Diwalwal, Compostela Valley, Philippines. Amidst the threat of a riot between opposing group of miners, the three brothers bravely decide to continue working in the mines for them to go to school and save enough money for the government housing project. Will they be able to leave Diwalwal or will their dreams crumble down like the giant boulders their small hands chip everyday?
Yoyong (10), bersama dengan saudara-saudaranya yaitu Darwin (14) dan Abet (12), bekerja sebagai penambang emas muda di Diwalwal, Lembah Compostela, Filipina. Ditengah-tengah ancaman akan terjadinya kerusuhan antara grup penambang yang bermusuhan, ketiga saudara yang pemberani ini memutuskan untuk terus bekerja di tambang untuk melanjutkan sekolah dan menabung demi program rumah murah yang digalang oleh pemerintah. Akankah mereka berhasil meninggalkan Diwalwal, atau akankah mimpi mereka hancur layaknya batuan yang mereka gali setiap hari dengan tangan mungil mereka?
