Despite not having any legal documents, Binti wants to live a normal life and dreams of becoming a famous vlogger. Elias (11) runs his 'save-the-okapi-club' without the help of his father, who's moved to Brazil following his divorce with Elias's mother. The police raid Binti and Jovial's home, sending the two on the run and Binti into the path of Elias.
