The Dutch-caribbean Shabu (14) lives an inner-city flat called The Paperclip in one of the most notorious neighborhoods in Rotterdam South, the Netherlands. In this feel-good film we enter the neighborhood seen through his eyes, vibrant and exuberant, exciting and fun. A colorful loving environment where everyone knows and supports each other. Shabu needs that support, because he has a big obstacle to overcome this summer; he angered the most import woman in his life; his grandmother.
