Synopsis

Victoria, a little black girl aged 8 from a humble background, happens to spend the night with the bourgeois family of Thomas, one of her classmates.
Years later, they see each other again and Marie is the fruit of their fleeting relationship. But Victoria decides not to tell Thomas and raises her child alone.
When Marie turns seven, Victoria decides that her daughter must have a better future and again turns to this family that she lost sight of long ago.
