Plot edit
The film depicts the after-school life of children in Ouagadougou.[2]
When school is out, the children take over the street. This is where they learn to fight and steal, where they fall in love and play football, where they dance, cook, make toys or musical instruments, keep shop... All the resourcefulness of these children from Burkina Faso is featured in a series of quick and humorous sketches.
