B.B. und die Schule am Fluss

B.B. And The School By The River

B.B. ('Brave Boy') Goura Moe is from the Naga tribe of former headhunters. They live in the inaccessible part of Burma near the Himalayas. At the age of seven he starts with alcohol, drugs and stealing. At the age of 13 he is at the end. His parents, poor day laborers, give him up. A Christian priest finds a school for underprivileged children for B.B.: 'Ferdi Home'. It is located in the dreamy temple town of Bagan, on the Irrayawady River, the queen of all rivers. Here the young Naga meets children from many different ethnic groups who often still fight each other. They do not care. They want to be a new generation in a peaceful country. And B.B.? He finds a new tribe: 'Lovers'.

Even though B.B.'s story is set in today's Myanmar, it happens every day somewhere else in the world. With the global tribe of pubescents. With children who are like B.B. who love their freedom and innocence.
