A new film, “Our Time Will Come,” written and directed by Amartei Armar, presents a West African take on the classic story of orphans seeking family. The movie begins as a road trip narrative before evolving into a depiction of challenging circumstances.
The feature debut draws parallels to “Oliver Twist” but is set in Ghana, following two orphaned children on a journey to Accra to find their relatives. Variety notes that Armar avoids excessive misery in his portrayal of the characters’ struggles, focusing instead on an emotionally absorbing story.
The review highlights that while the film starts as a road trip, it shifts to show the harsh realities faced by those living in poverty. The writer-director “thankfully cares too much for his orphaned characters to torture them (and us) with unending miserabilism.” No release date or further details about distribution were provided in the source.
