Synopsis: Shida's is the new kid in class in a private boarding school in Tanzania. He is shy, he has no self esteem, and he does not speak one word of English (the primary language in the school) and he suffers from albinism. Like most children with albinism in the country, Shida was taken away from his parents to be protected from witchcraft related killings. The film follows Shida during his first year at a new school where the rules are strict and tolerance is low. This school is a chance for an education and to escape life at the bottom of society. With help from his new friend Allan he struggles to get better in school and to be accepted by the teachers and pupils.
