Orphan Shégue – A child walks the streets of Kinshasa alone without food or a place to sleep. Another child is in his dad’s car and persuades his father to pick up the poor boy and take him home with them. The dad does as his son asks, despite his scepticism towards the poor child, who he believes to be a wizard. The child is eventually adopted and starts going to school.
