"The story of seventeen-year-old Lokita and twelve-year-old Tori, two immigrants to Belgium--from Cameroon and Benin, respectively--whose siblinglike bond is the only resource they can depend on in their struggle for survival on the margins of European society. The pair work as performers in a cheap trattoria, dealing drugs on the side, while balancing the demands of an indifferent bureaucracy. When Lokita is held captive in a marijuana grow house, events spiral out of control"--Container.
