Film Synopsis
Enguerrand is a small African boy who now lives in France with his adopted
parents Eliott and Ava. That Eliott loves his adopted son as devotedly
as any father is more than apparent, and Ava is anxious that perhaps he is
smothering him with too much affection. Enguerrand is content with
his new life but he can't help wondering what became of his biological father
who, unbeknown to him, died some time ago. One day, the boy encounters
a migrant named Kwabena and, because they have the same skin colour, convinces
himself that this is his long-lost father. Before he knows it Kwabena
is himself adopted, offered a place to stay in Enguerrand's bedroom.
The stranger's arrival is about to perturb the happy household and pose serious
problems for Eliott and Ava, who are at a complete loss as to how to break
the truth to their adopted son...
