British Documentary exploring the emotional effects of boarding school on young kids and their heart-torn parents. There is a cliché of boarding schools existing just so that rich distant parents can unburden themselves of their kids in search of less responsibility and a life of luxuries.

At Highfield Prep School in Hampshire, four new 8 year olds are about to find a new home that could shape the course of their whole lives.
