Their bond of friendship and family is cut short when Ali is senselessly killed at the beginning of the film by a blow to the head by a rival gang. His friends decide not to report his death to the police, who would have the boy buried in a potter's field. Instead they decide to give him a worthy burial, to bury Ali on the private island he so often dreamed of; "Architecture of assurance" weaves interviews into the story of a young girl who one afternoon goes exploring in a suburban California neighborhood, where she is utterly convinced that the people she spies on have happier lives than she does ER -
