Synopsis
Everyone’s Child tells the story of four siblings, Itai, Tamari, Norah and Nhamo, whose parents have both died of AIDS. The villagers, ignoring the usual custom, shun the orphans because of the stigma of AIDS. Their guardian, Uncle Ozias, who is a struggling small businessman, sells the family’s plow and oxen to pay off their father’s debts. Without the means to support themselves, the family disintegrates.
