Ouaga saga (2004) watch online HD

The story centres around the daily "struggles" of a group of boys and young men, who live in the Bobo-Quarter in Burkina Fasos Capital Ouagadougou. From the very beginning it is obvious that the aspects of life are in their disfavour. Nevertheless the group manages to overcome the daily obstacles full of wit.

The core plot of the movie begins when they manage to gain a significant sum of money. Soon after that their so called neighbour, who always spies on them, sets his eyes one the box where they hide their money. They succeed in teaching him a lesson, which is not the end of their troubles.

It was a pleasure to watch the movie till the very end. It was full of comedy and a little bit of suspense. It may be that this is the first African movie that I have ever seen. I kind of regret that fact. Since this movie was very good I am sure that I have already missed many good movies from Africa. That won't happen again.

Ouaga Saga is a hodgepodge of stories from Ouagadogou, capital of Burkina Faso. Probably the original script didn't fully pan out, or never existed in the first place, so we get a loose bundle of stories centering around a bunch of street urchins who nick a scooter and consequently rake in an unprecedented amount of cold cash. One of them buys a guitar to pursue his musical career, another buys a pair of second-hand soccer shoes (guaranteed to be previously worn by Paris St- Germain!), another buys a lottery ticket. Then a flash businessman appears on the scene, and, erm, in the end there's a football game. Roll credits.

Okay, so we're not in Hollywood anymore, Toto, but deep in the heart of Africa. Sure, there's a script somewhere, and you'll get it -- ah, tomorrow. Or the day after. But still the individual stories are told convincingly and captivatingly, the music is hypnotic and there are even some CGI FX. What this movie lacks in perfection, it makes up in charm. Enjoy the ride.
