THE LAST TREE

It is not easy for Femi to find his place in the world, especially after being transferred from a happy childhood in the English countryside to an official welfare flat in London back with his biological mother, whose origins and customs he no longer feels his own. The surrounding environment is even less friendly, so when he reaches adolescence, his confusion is aggravated by bad company and an incipient love, through (and in spite of) which he will have to seek his own identity as a young Afro-European man.
