Watch us rise

Jade est très heureuse de vivre dans son quartier, avec ses copains, et sa mère qu'elle adore, même si elles ne mangent pas à leur faim tous les soirs. Les ennuis commencent pour la jeune fille lorsque sa mère la supplie d'accepter d'intégrer le lycée de l'autre côté de la ville : celui où vont les blancs et les noirs d'un milieu aisé mais aussi les filles comme Jade : pauvres mais brillantes. En empruntant chaque matin le pont pour rejoindre le lycée où on ne l'accueille pas à bras ouverts. Jade se pose LA question de sa vie. Mieux vaut-il rester dans son quartier en étant pauvre et heureuse, ou défier son destin en entrant dans un monde dont elle ignore les codes ?
