    • Synopsis
    • Set in London with flashbacks to war torn Ethopia, Lilly, a Caucasian of British descent, abandoned as a child and raised as a devout Muslim in Ethiopia, and Amina, a young Ethiopian mother desperate to flee her tragic past, meet in London as they search for their loved ones. Their unique bond ultimately frees them both – a story for our time that challenges the ways we are defined by race, religion or the place of our birth.
