Subject matter is difficult - abuse, disease, rough living. The message is one of hope and how people can impact each other. Not a film for a child to watch alone. Great talking points for discussion afterwards. Packs a powerful punch in raising awareness of the less fortunate. Instead of dwelling on his hard life, Lucky finds the good and reaches out to others right up to the end.
In the poverty-stricken slums of post-apartheid South Africa, two boys from different backgrounds and cultures form an unlikely friendship. As the harsh realities of life in South Africa take their toll, one of the boys soon facees an unimaginable tragedy and the other's life will be changed forever.
