- Synopsis:
"Children Underground" is the universally acclaimed account of a "family" of five homeless children on the streets of their capital city, Bucharest. Begging on the streets and living in subway tunnels, drug addicted, and painfully unaware of the cruel horrors of their soul-crushing existence. As the children's story unfolds, the windows to their individual lives open up, revealing a harrowing day-to-day struggle for survival - from ten-year-old Ana, unfailingly maternal towards her younger brother Marian despite daily beatings from to Mihai, an intelligent and motivated twelve-year-old who slashes at his arms and dreams of a better life. Belzberg's film is a riveting and emotionally charged portrait of these desperate lives in a country that offers them little hope for the future. - Actors:
