“The Story of a Cape Town street-kid, based on Dickens' classic novel Oliver Twist”

The harrowing tale of a South African street-kid's search for love, based on Dickens' classic story. Growing up neglected in a rural orphanage, Twist escapes to the unpredictable freedom of Cape Town, where he falls in with Fagin's gang of street urchins.
