At the entrance of the public garden of Bordeaux, a child, around eight years old, observes the life around. Memories of its childhood in Guinea, laborious and happy at the same time, the inevitable fleeing with its parents to reach the Libyan coast, the crossing of the Mediterranean and their rescue during which its mother disappeared haunt its memory. Disguised as a boy, this child is the daughter of a journalist and political refugee. They start a new life together. A contemporary family adventure, a child resilience tale, a huge and indispensable testimony.

However, Lauri is now determined to learn to walk again and he has his siblings beside him - and that’s what really matters.
