A TROPICAL SUNDAY

MY STORY

Maputo, Mozambique. Four street urchins do what they can to enjoy the fun of a family Sunday at Tropical Luna Park. Without money, their hopes are dashed at every turn but when the music starts up for a kid’s dance contest, a new plan is hatched!

​

The aim of the film was to tell a story in a very realistic way, greatly inspired by what is happening every weekend in the Luna Park at the Feira Popular of Maputo, Mozambique: every Sunday the street kids go to the Tropical Luna Park and try their luck for a free ride.
