Abouna (Chad/2002)
Directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun

When they awake one morning to find their father gone, two young brothers wander the cinemas, soccer fields, and countrysides of their native Chad while trying to rebuild their ruptured family life. Mahamat-Saleh Haroun's playful--yet remarkably unsentimental--portrayal of childhood camaraderie, familial perseverance, and teen romance is a gem of recent African cinema from Chad's most prominent filmmaker.
