Shabu (2021) 14

Netherlands, Belgium | 2021 | 75 min.

Shabu (14) lives in a colorful loving environment where everyone knows and supports each other. He needs that support, since he has a big obstacle to overcome this summer; he angered the most import woman in his life. His grandmother. He crashed her car joyriding it while she was on vacation in Surinam. So, instead of working on his music career he’ll have to pay for the damages done.
