Harry, a 16-year-old of Malian origin, receives an official letter informing him of the death of his mother, who had lost custody of her children. Harry is placed in a special residential school and his younger brother Souleyman with a foster family in the country. Harry’s only memory of his mother is a portrait taken in a studio in Bamako, in which she looks young and radiant. He decides to run away and find Souleyman, whom he now considers the only link with his origins, and together return to their country to see their “family.” In the middle of the night he calls his friend, Franck, a teenager of West Indian origin, whom Harry persuades to come along.
