The story tells how Mamie's courage will maybe allow them to have a future. It is a film about friendship and fear provoked by the discovery of a new world, a new language and new habits.

Mamie et Shiku, deux jeunes Africaines. Presque adultes. L'une a 17 ans, l'autre 13. Ces deux réfugiées mineures, arrivées en Angleterre pour trouver une vie meilleure, se lient d'amitié. Mais bientôt, les déboires administratifs et policiers vont les séparer . Mamie devient clandestine tandis que la famille d'accueil de Shiku en fait une bonne à tout faire. Le film raconte alors comment le courage de Mamie leur permettra peut-être d'avoir un avenir. Un film sur l'amitié et sur la terreur liée à la découverte d'un nouveau monde, dont on ignore tout, langue et mœurs. C'est moins leur âge que leur histoire qui en fait des adultes |
