This film is a range of modest portraits of street children trying to survive in the Ghanaian capital. They scavenge on the waste dumps, play football on the beach, are bored at school, play a game of table football, do some fetching and carrying and watch violent videos. In the meantime, Amma Darko reads fragments from her precisely researched book Faceless, in which she compares the depraved situation in Accra with Sodom and Gomorra. The different children, each of whom is introduced with a frozen image, have their own reasons why they have got into this situation. Usually problems with their father or mother, or the loss of one or both oh these. They see their choice for the street as an escape into a life without fear. But there is no easy way back.
