Intabarrato in a blanket worn that reveals only the eyes, a child gets up from the bench that has elected to bed. He has not yet ten years. Around him, a dozen of their comrades still restless dreams. Every night
the bustling market of Kinshasa becomes a dormitory for an army of kids. Wander in search of food, they leave exhausted. They are children of war and violence.
Many, like Michael, have been driven home with an allegation of serious and ridiculous at the same time: that of being treacherous sorcerers of Ndoki, dragging the evil eye on the family roof. Perfect scapegoat, which feeds the instigation of the seven that are proliferating in the country: the child is too quiet or too impetuous, one who speaks with animals or who refused food is boiled. Every negative event involving the family, even the most insipid, they will be charged until you will be shown the door. But not first to have suffered humiliation and cruel exorcisms. That
Michel is an amazing story, but similar to that of many other children. But it is also a story of redemption because, in a terrible night, he meets Sylvie Michel, and with her new hope.
Luca Castellitto has traveled in the countries in the developing world and the experiences of those who work every day for the future of the poorest. He studied anthropology and history of religions and cultures. He has written novels and screenplays. You listen to the voices of the voiceless.
