When fourteen-year-old half-Senegalese twins Babeth and Momo move from Zurich to Dakar due to their father's new job, their godfather captures their story on camera. The result is an intimate portrait of their turbulent coming-of-age – marked by surprising twists and turns: the discovery of their own talents, kicked out of school, and suddenly being left alone in Dakar. A tragicomedy about the question: Who am I, actually?
