In the letter, the two boys ask for help for schools, food and healthcare. With the letter in their pocket, Yaguine and Fodè hide in a truck compartment of a plane to Brussels. Their remarkable journey of hope begins. Ten years later, Thabo, a teenager taken from hisAfrican village for his promising football player abilities, gets thrown out on the street once he is no longer deemed up to standard.
