Chenghua is 9 years old and has to prepare a presentation on Space with her best friend. She can’t find the time she needs, as her parents are constantly asking her to translate for them. Chenghua’s parents don’t speak French and are so dependent on their child that they don’t realise they’re putting too much weight on her shoulders. Chenghua can’t take it anymore and is looking to break away from her family. Her desire for space and her natural enthusiasm will help her take the plunge.
