Synopsis
Amani was 10 years old when he was separated from his mother Riziki after a traumatic night in Kinshasa. He is 20 when he arrives in Brussels to find her and continue his studies. Amani is haunted by the past and Riziki avoids talking about it as she is now in a relationship with Raphaël. More passionate about art than his studies, Amani abandons them and drifts, fleeing the house in search of a new life. His resentment turns against with consequences for those surrounding him.
