Synopsis:

In the capital of Burkina Faso, a band of young people tries to survive and thrive vis-a-vis the thousand and one temptations. Adventures of a band of youngsters, living in a stripped district of Ouagadougou, who seek hopes. The easy way and ingeniousness compensate for the money which often is lacking. Sadness is banished of a resolutely optimistic way of life. Plunders and odd jobs constitute the daily newspaper of this struggle for life. The ones will succeed modestly, the others will fail more or less, but a great solidarity of group remains...

Ouaga is short for Ouagadougou, the capital of the African nation of Burkina Faso. This 'saga' is a feel-good comedy involving a group of friends ranging from the early teens to the early 20s, residents of the poor section of the city. The youngsters are a jovial, resourceful lot with specific dreams which appear rather unrealistic given their circumstances. Pele wants to be a professional soccer player, 'Sheriff' wants to own a theatre where he can screen the westerns he loves, others want to become music industry moguls or own restaurants. They will all see their dreams realized through a combination of magic, cunning, and highly improbable luck.
