What is it like to never feel completely at home anywhere? To grow up between two worlds? Seventeen-year-old Dutch-Dominican Felicia from Numansdorp struggles with these feelings. One day, after yet another semi-joking remark from her friends, she’s had enough. In an impulsive decision, she takes a random bus by herself to Rotterdam, where she meets a new group of friends. But when she doesn’t feel fully accepted by them either, she takes a radical decision.
