The film tells the story of three young people from the border region between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi, a region in Africa which in the past 10 years has been haunted by civil wars, natural catastrophes and other crises.

• In Bujumbura a young street worker shows the street children's daily struggle for survival. He himself was a street child, after both his parents fell victim to the brutal civil war. Today he is the most important contact person for the children.
  
• An assistant nurse, a former refugee herself, takes care of women and children coming from a war area and stranded in a shelter. Thereby it becomes known that parts of the army systematically used rape as strategy to infect entire communities with HIV.
  
• A young woman with her five children fled from Congo to Burundi and was taken in in a refugee camp. One of her children got lost during the flight, another is critically ill. Still she considers herself lucky among the displaced people.
