Short children's film set in the South of Benin. In a small fishing village, the girl Sica helps her mother to sell fish. At school she is top of the class and Sica would most like to carry on studying in the big city. Then she would have to move, but her mother can't do without her. Her aunt from the city seems to solve the problem. Sica can go with her and will earn some money after school to help the aunt. In the city, this turns out to be a lie. (Nederlands Film Festival)
