Thein Shwe and Htwe Tin live in the Magway region of Myanmar, home to one of the world's oldest oil industries. At the head of an unregulated oil field, they produce a barrel every few days. They want more than anything to see their youngest son succeed, to break the cycle of poverty. A kettle boils. Hands covered in mud operate machines that spit. The sound of a football match buzzes on a nearby television. "These days have gone by quickly", says Htwe.
