Program Note
A street kid, Niku, lives under the protection of the king of Bucharest’s underground world, who calls himself Bruce Lee. He propagates a strange philosophy by applying silver paint to his hair that homeless street boys sniff instead of expensive drugs. He gives Niku the name “the Outlaw”, becoming both father and mother. An underground tunnel is an extreme environment, but Niku finds fun and family love there with his friends. One day, Niku gets very sick and goes to the hospital with Raluca, an NGO activist. Will Niku seek a new life with the help of Raluca, or return to the free life of the tunnel? The movie does not judge Niku′s choices or Bruce, observing at a distance. The tunnel is the basis of a community for street boys addicted to the life. However, the camera actively intervenes for the first time when Niku′s disease worsens, and there are other options for Niku. This is the cinematic moment that forces documentary cameras to respond when faced with other people′s lives. (Cho HyeYoung)
