Akram's first feature uses the driver to take us on a tour of a city crippled by political violence, a city where 50,000 orphan children, who grow up unschooled, live and work on the streets selling eggs, empty bottles and toilet paper.
The movie's documentary elementary is more appealing than its fictional aspect, where some amateurishness is obvious. But on the whole, this is an engaging look at a social dilemma of orphan children.
