On the outskirts of N'Djamena in Chad, Amina lives alone with her 15 -year-old daughter Maria. Her fragile world collapses the day she discovers her daughter is pregnant. Maria does not want this pregnancy, in a country where abortion is condemned not only by religion but also by law. The film tells the story of Amina and Maria coming together to find a way out, and of sisters coming together to fight for their daughter’s futures.
