Paul and Sali are a married black couple who are unable to have biological children, and have been struggling to adopt a child for a long time. When Sali finally receives the call that their adoption file is approved and that a 4-month-old white baby boy called Benjamin is available, it seems like nothing could go wrong anymore. Except for the fact that Sali's parents do not accept their white grandchild, and that the social worker Claire Mallet will do anything at her reach to stop Paul and Sali from adopting Benjamin.
