Sinopsis:

Simon, 11, a black adopted boy and soccer enthusiast, travels with his Danish mother to his country of origin, Kenya. Soon after arriving, Simon loses his beloved soccer ball. When he tries to find it, he gets lost in the biggest city-slum in Africa. With his trendy shoes and fancy clothes, he clearly stands out, but after he gets mugged, he soon looks like any other African boy. When Simon’s mom, Susanne, goes to the media promising a reward for getting her son back, Simon is suddenly a hunted boy in the alleyways of the slum – he now needs all the help he can get from his new friends.

11-year-old Simon loves football and enjoys a carefree life in Denmark. He is adopted from Kenya and will soon join his adoptive mother on holiday there. But in the large city of Nairobi he manages to get lost in one of the largest slums of the world. Here his fashionable clothes and shoes draw attention – soon he is robbed and disappears even deeper into the slum. Simon’s mother announces a large reward for information about him, who therefore becomes an attractive object for kidnappers. Simon now has to trust his new friends, who know every alley of the slum.
A fast-paced family action film.
