Liskerrett Community Cinema - The Crow's Egg

The Crow’s Egg Rated PG

It is a simple story about 2 kids growing up in the slums of South India. They live with their grandmother (who reminded me of my own grandmother) and are supported by their mother while their father is in jail. The reason for the father being in jail is never revealed.

The kids play at an abandoned site everyday until the site is closed off for construction for a pizza chain. When the pizza shop opens the two boys are fascinated with pizza, having never seen or tasted any before..and so begins a quest for them to save and earn the 300 rupee (AUD$6) to finally get their pizza.
