Only For One Week
Bare for en uke
Christine’s parents are moving to Africa to help save the children in Sudan. Christine is against the idea because she doesn’t want to go to a boarding school in Africa. She wagers that she can live like the homeless children in Dublin for a week to prove that she is capable of taking care of herself and that she doesn’t need her parents.
Christine cuts her hair and disguises herself as a boy. She believes that life on the streets will be about freedom, but over the course of the long and dramatic week she learns a lot about friendship, poverty and need. Not to mention what she learns about herself and her own motives.
