Synopsis
Éric, 10 ans, est placé pour la énième fois dans une famille d'accueil par la DDASS. Cet enfant, considéré comme difficile, échoue cette fois chez les Pertuis, à Royan. Supportant mal ces déplacements forcés, le gamin décide de s'inventer une autre vie. Marie, du même âge qu'Éric, est également orpheline. Depuis que le père de la fillette, pêcheur, a disparu en mer, Corinne, sa tante, vétérinaire au Zoo de la Palmyre, et Pierre, le gardien du Phare de Cordouan, essaient de remplacer tant bien que mal les parents qu'elle n'a plus. Comme son papa l'appelait « petit mousse », Marie agit, s'habille et raisonne comme un garçon, et son comportement dérange. Sur les bancs de l'école, la rencontre des deux enfants est une révélation.Actors

Fourteen-year-old Annie Cameron lives in suburban Chicago. She enjoys a healthy relationship with her family. On her birthday, her parents give her a laptop. When she meets Charlie in an online chat room, she establishes an instant connection with him. At first, Charlie states that he is sixteen years old. Over time, as the two bond by sending phone text messages and through instant messaging, he bumps his age up to eighteen, twenty, then twenty-five. Annie is taken aback at first, but then dismisses these concerns. Her parents are not aware of her infatuation, or the threat Charlie poses, and Annie even deceives them a bit, as she continues the online relationship, not wanting to end things with him under the belief that they are in love.

At the age of fifteen, Allah Rakhi (Samiya Mumtaz) was given in marriage to the much older tribal chieftain Daulat Khan (Asif Khan), who took her from her family in Lahore to live with him in the mountains. Now, two decades later, Daulat Khan is presented with the opportunity to make peace with rival tribe leader Tor Gul (Abdullah Jaan), and he seals the deal by offering his fellow chieftain his and Allah Rakhi's ten-year-old daughter Zainab (Saleha Aref) in marriage. Tormented at the prospect that her daughter's life might be a repetition of her own, Allah Rakhi flees with the oblivious young girl in tow. Pursued by Daulat Khan and Tor Gul's henchmen, and knowing that she is highly conspicuous as an unaccompanied woman on a mountain road, Allah Rakhi manages to get a lift for her and Zainab by lying to a sympathetic truck driver, Sohail (Mohib Mirza). When Sohail learns of the real reason for Allah Rakhi's flight, he is forced to decide whether he will endanger his own life to deliver mother and daughter to safety in Lahore.
