    • Synopsis
    • Fortuna, a 14-year-old Ethiopian girl is given shelter together with other refugees in a Swiss catholic monastery. While she waits for her fate to be decided by the Swiss authorities, she meets Kabir, a young African and falls in love with him. It is winter and as the snow covers the peaks, the monastery becomes their refuge but also the scene of events that undermine the peaceful life of the canons. Will they give up their tradition of hospitality? Will they be able to guide Fortuna towards her new life?
