An International blend of comedy, drama and perhaps a few surprises in-between.

Solange is a neglected French-Canadian girl and an only child of a single working mother. They recently moved to English Canada with little resources and as such she must fend for herself after school. Living in the same complex is her Japanese best friend, Akiko, who is her after school playmate. Curious and unsupervised they enter a dangerous game of hide and seek. A game which tests their friendship and forces them to examine life in a way that strips them of their innocence.
