A group of children forge their own world amid the dangers of armed conflict in the Far North Region of Cameroon, where since 2014, the terrorist organisation Boko Haram has led strikes against the villages and people. We meet Falta, studious and hardworking, who is struggling to come to terms with the death of her father in a terrorist attack. Her classmate, Ibrahim, and older brother, Mohamad, struggle to balance their childlike energy with a traumatic past that takes them away from the innocence of their eight and eleven years.
