VAKHIM

Adopted in Cambodia at the age of four, Vakhim arrived in Italy in 2008. He speaks only Khmer and everything around him is unfamiliar, he is a sunny child and to adapt he removes the traces of his short life, which, however, does not disappear completely. In Italy there is Maklin, his older sister, and after a few years a letter arrives: it is Vakhim’s birth mother asking about her son. Francesca and Simone, the adoptive parents, decide to go looking for her.
