Jamila is a Moroccan girl from southern Italy who is figuring out life without guidance, friends, or money. She is intelligent and resourceful though and at times it seems she is blazing her own path. But her pride and restlessness may cause her to slip through the cracks. Filmed at different stages of Jamila’s life, from 9 to 14 years old, Californie is an intimate and respectful depiction of how teenagers on the margins find their place in society.
