A light film that relates a small, childish story, clearly directed by someone very decisive and experienced. Exactingly made, fluid and very detailed, but almost unnoticeably so. Street kids try their luck at the Sunday fair in Maputo.
Also in this combined programme
-
Adamt
In Ethiopia music is of a different calibre and overcomes the deepest traumas, even deafness. Rhythmic drama. -
Shoeshine
Colourful and light like a comedy yet provides social commentary on Tanzanian society. A shoeshine man against the world. -
A Hole in the Sky
Fabulous document from the perspective of a Somali goat herd passing from girlhood to womanhood, and who has to make a great sacrifice.
