O Chale

Through the vibrant neighborhoods of Ghana's capital Accra, this coming-of-age film follows the four basketball friends Barnabas, Raphael, Jumaih and Garvin as they face the challenges of growing up. In the confusion of wavering plans for the future, complicated father-son relationships, conservative gender roles and the fear of the end of innocent childhood, the basketball court proves to be a place where the four can forget the problems of their everyday lives for a moment and open up, but above all be allowed to be children again.
