Displaced by condo developments and struggling to make ends meet, an imaginative young Ethiopian boy processes his isolation and displacement by creating an alternate identity as a ferocious lion (anbessa). A testament to resiliency that pushes the boundaries of standard nonfiction form, Anbessa gently probes the young boy's interior world, through sweeping camera work and quiet moments filled with light.
