Nascent

Bintou, a 12-year-old Muslim girl, and Gaus, a nine-year-old Christian boy, find themselves on opposite sides of a sectarian civil war spreading across the Central African Republic. An elegant conversation between Bintou and Gaus shows preternatural understanding, honesty and fearlessness that exceed that of the adults around them, and offers a much-needed perspective on war and conflict.
