About the movie
English — At seventeen, Seyna, a teenager from Cameroon is passionate about France’s history, the country where she was born and she is deeply in love. Her diploma in hand, and approaching her undergraduate, Seyna aspires only to one thing: getting the French nationality. But her father Amidou is fiercely opposed to it.
