Movie description:
»Little Treasures of Lombok« tells the tale of two little boys, 11-year old Man and 10-year old Sugeng, as they eke a harsh living on the streets of Lombok, Indonesia. Despite their innocence and gleaming bright eyes, the dirty streets do not spare the children as they encounter child mo-lesters and prostitution rings. Their bristly paths converge and they decide to help each other. Offered the chance of a lifetime, Man and Sugeng must now decide between getting off the streets and starting anew, or staying put with the only way of life they have known.
»Little Treasures of Lombok« is a semi-documentary film about two street children, Man (11) and Sugeng (10), who struggle to survive on the streets of Lombok (Indonesia). In the film, Man and Sugeng retell and reenact their stories of living and working on the streets. Both of them explore the two most common areas where street children make their living, the streets and beaches. Man wanders around the streets trying to survive by working as a public transportation conductor while Sugeng sells souvenirs to tourists on the beach. Somehow their paths of life bring them together. Realizing the similar struggles they have to endure, Man and Sugeng decide to work together and help each other.
But still, the streets are not the right place for these unfortunate children. Man is molested by a bus-driver. Sugeng snatches whatever he can do or get on the streets. He steals and mugs other people, yet he is also exposed to child prostitution. Until, one night a group of social workers distributes meal to them and other street children in a parking lot. Then, a social worker interviews them separately and introduces the idea of providing them a better life and education if they come live in the Child Development Centre of Peduli Anak Foundation. This time, Man and Sugeng choose a different path. Man decides to take this opportunity and dreams for a better future. On the other hand, Sugeng is being skeptical and remains to stay on the streets. What will become of Man and Sugeng? Do they make the right decision?
