Sinopsis
Grace (17 years old) fled Burundi to Rotterdam with her mother and older brother when she was five years old. She has albinism and albino hunters in Burundi were looking for her because of her depigmented skin. In her last year of high school, she meets Kya and her friends, and a new world opens up before her. In them, Grace sees the embodiment of her African identity and how she would like to be; powerful, confident and proud. She does everything possible to be part of the group, but the perception of his own image that years of exclusion have left her makes it very difficult.
