Short synopsis
Twelve-year-old Claire is vacationing with her family in Morocco. Neglected
by her parents and sister, she meets a Senegalese immigrant called Amram
on the beach. As a part of a childish game she makes him a promise she can't break.

Director´s note
Sunburned is a drama about a young girl Claire, and her way to adulthood.
Claire’s emotional and sexual development throughout the film is coupled with
the journey of the young Senegalese refugee Amram, and his longing for a better life in Europe.
In all, the film explores a tragic immigrant situation through the eyes of children.
