Emilie pareciera ser una chica como cualquiera, preocupada por su aspecto, por las calorías, por el ejercicio. Sin embargo, para ella la comida representa una lucha constante todos los días y ya es difícil ocultárselo a sus padres. Samuel es un chico de Ghana que se embarca en un peligroso viaje para llegar a Europa, encontrar trabajo y enviar algo de dinero a su familia. Eso es lo que hacen todos los chicos de su edad para dejar atrás la pobreza y encontrar un mejor futuro; incluso si para ello tienen que arriesgar la vida. El destino de ambos se entrecruzará durante las vacaciones familiares de Emilie en la isla de Gran Canaria. Descubre hasta dónde los llevará su amistad en esta historia.
