Filmmakers Amedeo D'Adamo and Nevina Satta cast real homeless children in this grim drama about an eight year old boy who falls in with a gang of child prostitutes and street kids after being left to fend for himself on the mean streets of Douala, Cameroon. DJ's aunt has abandoned him, and now he's got a new family. Guided by a tough older girl who the outsiders believe to be possessed, these street smart kids will do whatever it takes to survive.
