Stolen Childhood

How do you grow up into a well-functioning adult, when you are uprooted time and time again? It's a bitter dilemma that 12-year-old Achille knows all too well. After ten happy years, the young boy is torn from his foster family and sent to live with strangers. Meanwhile, his mother is trying desperately to regain custody of her son. Romain, the child welfare worker in charge of Achille's case, will fight hard to protect the hapless youngster and help him get through the painful new ordeals that lie ahead.
