Simon, 11 years old, was adopted by a Danish family and he loves football. He is travelling with his mother Suzanne to Kenya, his country of origin. Simon just got to the destination when he loses his beloved soccer ball. While he is looking for it, he gets lost within the narrow streets of the biggest Township in Africa. With his fashion shoes and his elegant clothes he stands out, gets noticed and is robbed. When Suzanne turns to the media, promising a reward to who will find his son, suddenly everybody is looking for Simon in the township. In order to avoid the dangers that surround him, the boy will need the help that his new friends will be able to offer him.
