Synopsis

Our take

Director Joost Vandebrug has been working in the tunnels beneath Bucharest since 2011, forming deep, compassionate relationships with homeless street kids. Maintaining an attentive, pragmatic eye on his surroundings, this film is an astonishing look at the children who fall into the underworld.
