En film om menneskers styrke til å reise seg og gå videre.
Gjennom intervjuer med fem ivorianske barn som har måttet flykte fra krigen i Elfenbenskysten, dukker historier om mot, styrke, muligheter og håp opp. Barna forteller om en allmennmenneskelig drøm; drømmen om et bedre liv for seg og sine. Filmen belyser en svært aktuell problemstilling når vi nå ser millioner av mennesker på flukt.
Five Ivorian children had to flee when war broke out in the Ivory Coast after the presidential election in 2010. The children talk about hopes and dreams for the future.
