(The school trip)
Synopsis

At the age of 14, Megalie, daughter of an immigrant family from Senegal but born and brought up in Italy, is faced with the difficult task of finding a place for herself in the world she is living in. When she is denied the opportunity of taking part in a school trip abroad, a perfect occasion for the girl to reveal her feelings to her classmate Marco, that place in the world will seem unattainable to her. But will it really be so?

All'età di 14 anni, Megalie, figlia di genitori immigrati dal Senegal ma nata e cresciuta in Italia, si trova di fronte al difficile compito di trovare un posto per se stessa nel mondo. Quando le verrà negata l'opportunità di partecipare a una gita scolastica all'estero, un'occasione irripetibile per lei di poter rivelare i propri sentimenti al suo compagno di classe Marco, quel posto nel mondo le sembrerà irraggiungibile. Ma lo sarà poi davvero?
