ROAMING AROUND

Synopsis

The donut seller has a round belly. "How did you get pregnant?" asks someone. The girl smiles shyly: "You don't get enough money selling donuts." A boy gets a child's plaster stuck on head at a Catholic hospital. The wound is the result of a vicious attack. Another boy, who has a bad rash, has to swallow his pills on the spot, to make sure he doesn't go and sell them.
ROAMING AROUND portrays migrated children struggling to survive in the Ghanaian capital. They have problems with their parents or lost one of them. The camera captures their impressing faces of innocence, desperation, suffering and beauty. Their choice for the street is an escape into a life without fear. But there is no easy way back.This is a strong, sincere and emotionally charged film about childhood not to be missed.
