Because they have no choice, the events are lived as so many challenges: the language learning, the discovery of a society to the antipodes of theirs, the deep solitude of the exile. Under the friendly glance of these responsible adults, these young people reinstate little by little the world of the human beings, sharing their hopes, their dreams, their confusions also. At the time of the legislative hardening of the borders of Europe, these adults by their daily action in favour of the foreign minors resist to the devils of the national fold and join with strength the generous traditions of France.
