Ouaga Saga

2004 · 85 min

A lively, good-natured slice of street life where scrappy kids hustle with humour and solidarity, making poverty feel like an adventure rather than a burden.

Comedy
Overview
In the capital of Burkina Faso, a band of young people tries to survive and thrive vis-a-vis the thousand and one temptations. Adventures of a band of youngsters, living in a stripped district of Ouagadougou, who seek hopes. The easy way and ingeniousness compensate for the money which often is lacking. Sadness is banished of a resolutely optimistic way of life. Plunders and odd jobs constitute the daily newspaper of this struggle for life. The ones will succeed modestly, the others will fail more or less but a great solidarity of group remains.
