The journey of a refugee from his war-torn land, traffickers, crossings, life in hiding, and becoming part of a French family.

"Don't say where you're from or what your name is. Forget your country, got it? Forget me. And everyone else you know or have known—forget them too. Forget who you are. From now on, you're nobody, from nowhere. It's up to you to become someone again. At your age, anything is possible." Being 15 in a war-torn country. Being forced to grow up and become a man. Finding yourself out in the streets, traveling without papers, seeing the underside of humanity, learning to survive, blend in, forget... and live again. Feel again. Little by little, trust again. Keep hope alive, always. A refugee's journey through resilience to recovery.
