Amartei Armar's debut feature "Our Time Will Come" is an emotionally resonant Ghanaian drama that follows two orphaned children as they journey to Accra in search of family, drawing loose inspiration from "Oliver Twist" while avoiding excessive misery. The film premiered at Locarno after being developed through Marrakech's 2025 Atlas Workshops under the working title "Vagabonds", and its handling of found family and social fragmentation in modern Ghana marks it as a distinctive and promising arthouse debut likely to travel well on the festival circuit.

The story centres on 15-year-old Owusu, played by newcomer Idrissu Tontie Jr. in a performance the review calls "adult-sized", and seven-year-old Adobea (Dorothy Adobea Tandoh), who flee their orphanage to find Owusu's long-lost mother in the capital, armed with only an old photograph. Shot by cinematographer John Kwame Markin, the film contrasts the open, sunlit countryside with the dark, disorienting city, and explores themes of eroded family ties, ethnic division and the need for alternative kinship networks amid poverty and rural flight in contemporary Ghana.
