Mahree Bok lives on a farm in southern Africa. Her father is a policeman who cannot hide his joy when activist Steve Biko is captured by the South African authorities. Piper Dellums is the daughter of a congressman from California and USA who lives in a beautiful house in Washington DC. When Mahree is chosen to spend a semester at the Dellums' house, she doesn't expect her family to be black. Neither her hosts suspect that she is not a black South African. Written by Dragomir R. Radev

Based on real events about the friendship between two girls, in an exchange in which Piper Dellum, a black girl from the United States, receives Mahree Bok, a white girl from apartheid South Africa, in her home for 4 months, in the year 1977, who learn about tolerance and friendship, a beautiful, passionate, emotional, necessary film, this in the 2000s, but still necessary, although we are not mentally far from the dark days of Apartheid, disgusting and shameful... I cried, in pain... Simple film it is wonderful...
