Film description

First the civil war and then AIDS have made Uganada the country with the most orphans in the world. UWESO (Uganda Women’s Effort to Save Orphans) asks Kiarostami to make a film about the situation in Uganda. Together with Seyfollah Samadian and carrying two digital cameras, Kiarostami arrives in Uganda to make a documentary about a country which, despite its grave problems, is full of the joy of life, about the birth control campaign and the campaign to fight AIDS and, finally, about the hope that shines in these children’s faces.
