Children Underground follows the story of five street children, aged eight to sixteen who live in a subway station in Bucharest, Romania.

Plot

One of the most astonishing and engaging cinematic works of the past decade, CHILDREN UNDERGROUND is a profoundly intimate and heart-wrenching drama about homeless children struggling for survival on the streets and in the subways of Bucharest, Romania.
