Between 1955 and 1995, over 70,000 West African children were fostered by white British families. The film sensitively accompanies nine of them to a workshop retreat where they take turns in exploring their past with the help of professional therapy. For many, it marks the first time they had the opportunity to connect with people who shared a similar childhood. This reveals the heartfelt impact of their challenging upbringing - a moving and sometimes unsettling meditation on identity, belonging and the nature of family.
