The Children

Original title The Children

[mlsid]

The Children is a short ethnographic film which follows and documents the unusual routine of five children in the primary school of the village of Plitkovic, at the heart of Kosovo. These children make up the only class of the school and they are all of different ages. The difficulties to reach the school and the lack of other children of the same age does not stop them from having a good time with one-another and learning everything together. Note: Subtitles have intentionally not been provided.
