The Children Of The Noon – 81:35 – Canadian Premiere
dir. Olga Pohankova, dir. Diego Fiori – Austria/Kenya/Italy
Synopsis The Children of the Noon deals with the universal subject of life. The time passes marked out by daily activities for the group of children and teenagers in the orphanage in Nchiru, the small Kenyan village. Soon emerges how orphan conditions and genteel poverty they share are not the only problems that unite them and determine their days. A sudden death of one of them breaks the narrative rhythm and changes all points of view intertwining a dense web of pains and joys, friendships and hopes.
