In search of his aunt, young Birahima must navigate the turmoil of West Africa’s civil wars on his own. On his journey, he finds himself caught between rebels, soldiers, and ruthless warlords—and eventually becomes a child soldier himself. With dry humor and blunt language, he tells his story and tries to find his own path in a world filled with violence. A powerful film about loss, survival, and a child’s perspective on war.
