Guillaume and Isabelle, both teachers, ask for a transfer to Reunion Island or Guadeloupe. When they receive confirmation of their departure for Mayotte, they're over the moon. Neither Hugo nor his kid sister has a clue where Mayotte is, and Hugo has no wish to find out - But despite sulking, he soon finds himself on the scorching-hot tarmac of Pamandzi Airport. Mayotte is nothing like the vacation-brochure dream of the tropics. The only white kid on the island, and suddenly well-off compared to the relative poverty of the islanders, Hugo doesn't feel at home and rejects everything. Relations between Hugo and his folks grow tense. Then again, relations between his folks also deteriorate when Isabelle, the mom, starts getting homesick - But when Hugo catches classmate Zaïnaba's eye, everything begins to change. She's two years older than he, beautiful and spontaneous. Zaïnaba first shows him Mayotte, and then love.
