Two young Africans from different social backgrounds want to defy tradition and be free to love each other. This Burkina Faso/Canada co-production is based on Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which particularly upholds the right to love freely, blind to convention and social class. An animated film without words for twelve to seventeen yers olds.

Study Guide
Pre-viewing, ask students to think about social class, and moments in history
and fiction when categorization was used to dismiss human rights. Why are
segregated groups formed (gangs, schools, athletic clubs…)? Should these
groups be exclusive? Prepare students for the film by explaining the caste
differences between the two main characters. Have students write about a
moment in their lives when they experienced discrimination as a witness or a
victim, or engaged in it themselves.
