At only 12, Divine helps her mother sell omelets in a night market in Kinshasa. That evening their objective was to find enough to pay the school fees the next day to allow Divine to enter the classroom. Like every night, the two women have to face the demands of the customers and the suspicious atmosphere of the night.
