Six-year-old
Cléo (Louise Mauroy-Panzani) loves her nanny Gloria (Ilça Moreno Zego) more
than anything. When Gloria suddenly has to resign and return home to Cape Verde
to look after her own children, she promises the devasted Cléo that
they will see each other again very soon. True to her word, Gloria invites Cléo to spend her summer holiday with her in Cape Verdeand when Cléo’s father finally agrees they set out
to make the most of their summer together.
An exquisite exploration of family, separation and the ties
that bind people together told from the point of view of a capricious young
protagonist.
