bio

Urban artists, writers, painters, social activists and award-winning filmmakers Cyop&Kaf tell the story of what happens during the cold days of January to poor street children.

The documentary follows their gangs when they fight or build coalition to survive.

We will participate in their nocturnal adventures.
