This film is about the hunger and poverty brought about by Globalization. There are 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition. This short film shows a forgotten portion of the society. The people who live on the refuse of men to survive. What is inspiring is the hope and spirituality that never left this people.

AZUR & ASMAR
Azur & Asmar is the story of two boys raised as brothers. Blonde, blue-eyed, white-skinned Azur and black-haired, brown-eyed, dark-skinned Asmar are lovingly cared for by Asmar's gentle mother, Jénane, who tells them magical stories of her faraway homeland and of the beautiful, imprisoned Djinn Fairy waiting to be released from her chamber by a good and heroic prince. Time passes, and one day Azur's father, the master of the house, cruelly separates them: Azur is sent away to the city to receive schooling from a personal tutor, while Asmar and his mother are driven out from his home, homeless and penniless.
Years later, as a young adult, Azur remains haunted by memories of the sunny land of his nanny, and sets sail south across the high seas to find the country of his dreams. Arriving as an immigrant in a strange land, (a medieval Maghreb, full of dangers, magic spells and wonders), Azur is rejected by everyone he meets on account of his "unlucky" blue eyes, until finally he resolved never to open those eyes again. The once-beautiful child clad in gold is reduced to a blind beggar. Yet, blind though he is, little by little and step by step, he discovers a beautiful and mysterious country. Meanwhile, back in her homeland, Azur's nanny has become a wealthy merchant and Asmar has grown into a dashing horseman and is now a member of the Royal Guard. Reunited, but now as adversaries, the two brothers set off on a dangerous quest to find and free the Djinn Fairy.
