Bangui, Central African Republic. Robert, a 17-year-old Congolese refugee, dreams of a career in music. But after his parents are arrested on charges of using forged documents to leave the country, he is left to care for his four younger siblings on his own. Under the threat of militias that spread fear throughout the city, he juggles daily life, odd jobs, school exams, and concert performances, determined to pursue his dream.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
I was born in a country at war, the Congo, and arrived in the Central African Republic (CAR) when I was still a small child. I consider the CAR my country: it is where I grew up, where I have my friends and my daily life. And yet, it is not my country: I am not a citizen. I am a refugee. I want to make this film to tell my story to everyone; to tell what it is like to be a young refugee in CAR. I want to tell what it is like to be sixteen years old and have to take care of your brothers and sisters alone after your parents have been unjustly thrown into prison. These painful memories gnawed at me for years; even today, our situation is unresolved. I want to bring a message of hope to all my refugee brothers and sisters around the world: We can make it.
