Thanks to him, she traffics cigarettes between Italy and France to make ends meet. One day, on her way to France, she runs into Mouneer, a 20-year-old Sudanese migrant, who is determined to catch up with his little sister. He works out that she is a trafficker and persuades her to get some migrants across the border.
