Contents Summary
An intimate and heartbreaking chronicle of a few days in the life of a group of homeless children aged from 8 to 14, living in Leningradsky Railway Station. They spend their days begging, playing, sniffing glue, drinking vodka, and missing their mothers. They’ve been beaten, abandoned, used, and discarded by drug-addicted or alcoholic parents, abusive passerbys and inhuman policemen. Many will never live to see their 15th birthdays. The camera descends into the children’s murky underground dwellings or slyly captures a policeman viciously pouring glue over a young boy’s head. The scenes in this raw, verité documentary combine footage of the children and of the Moscow authorities, who prefer to ignore or suppress the problem. This remarkably honest, compelling journey into the hidden world of Moscow’s homeless children was nominated for an Academy Award in Best Documentary Short Subject in 2004.
