In today’s Belgium, two young African migrants face harassment, exploitation and abuse from human traffickers and drug traders.

Lokita, age 16, came from Cameroon and Tori, 11, from Benin. The two arrived alone in Belgium and have formed a strong bond. But only Tori has been granted refugee status, while Lokita must struggle in peril. When unfeeling bureaucrats and unwilling bystanders offer no help, the two friends hold fast to each other and their determination to survive.

This riveting film depicts the difficult circumstances that young migrants can face when denied state supports. Tori and Lokita are forced to make heartrending choices but the film portrays them with dignity and empathy.
