The Wild Years (2013)
The three protagonists play, eat and argue together. In this, at least, they are no different from other boys their age. But they are different in one crucial way, because nine-year-old Daniel and Habtom and Yohannes, both aged 12, live on the street, sleeping in an abandoned car on the side of the road. Without money or any form of adult support, they struggle to survive in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. And there are around 270,000 other street kids like them. The film records the three boys’ daily lives without being overly sentimental.

Best movie of this year hands down!
SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
