Halima

Finland

Halima is a 10-year-old Somali girl living in Finland in 1998. She loves dancing, pop music and Leonardo DiCaprio. Halima’s family is moving constantly because of her mum’s job and this makes her retreat into dreams of fame instead of friendships. In a yet another new town, everything changes: for the first time, Halima makes real friends. Through warm and funny mishaps, she discovers friendship, belonging and resilience.
