Synopsis

March 22, 2067.

Milana remembers what happened to her sixty years ago.

In 2009, Milana, of Chechen origin, is in her fifth year of elementary school in Paris. Her friends, her gang, are Blaise, Alice, Claudio, Ali and Youssef.

But one day Youssef, who has no French green card, is deported. Then it’s Milana’s turn to be threatened. Feeling that they’re in danger, the children decide to react. They promise to always stay together and organize a plot to save Milana.
