Nelio's Story(Comedia Infantil)
Sweden/Mozambique, 1997, 122 mins

Based on Swedish author Henning Mankell's novel, the story of Nelio (the bright-eyed Sergio Titos), a street kid in Mozambique, is a fantastical journey from the horror of civil war in the countryside to the daily struggle for survival on the streets of the capital city. A magical lizard woman, a disappearing dwarf and spirits of the dead all cross Nelio's path on his journey. Surprisingly uplifting, the film is carried by a gang of non-actor street kids as they create what enjoyment they can out of life despite the odds against them.
