The Wild Years

In Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, over 270,000 street kids live without their parents and are almost forgotten by the law and society. Daniel, a boy from the countryside, is 9 years old when he arrives in the city. He meets Habtom and Yohannes, both aged 12, who live in an abandoned car. At first, they don't accept him in their group, but they eventually become friends. Though still children, they share the hard life of the city and lead adult lives. But they are smart and inventive enough to survive. (Zlín Film Festival)
