A documentary portrait of an extraordinary orphanage in Addis Ababa.

synopsis

Little Heaven is a documentary portrait of an extraordinary orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital. On their 13th birthdays, children in this particular orphanage are told that they were born with HIV. Despite the harshness of the diagnosis, hope still lives thanks to the childrens' and their carers' zest for life.
L’histoire tragique d’un orphelinat particulier situé à Addis Abada, la capitale de l’Ethiopie. A leur treizième anniversaire, les enfants apprennent qu’ils sont nés porteurs du virus du Sida. Une histoire difficile mais aussi optimiste grâce à la joie de vivre que partagent ces enfants et leurs éducateurs.
