Six-year-old Cléo lives with her widower Dad and her immigrant nanny Gloria in Paris. She loves her father, but Gloria is the emotional centre of her world, so when Gloria must return to her home country to attend to her own family, Cléo is heartbroken. Gloria arranges for her to stay with her and her family in Cape Verde for one last summer. A deeply moving drama about colonialism and the complexities of the bonds between care-givers centring the intense emotions of the child. A beautiful, exquisite and insightful Directorial debut, featuring a miraculous central child performance.
