I promise.

There are two kinds of people, writes Roxane van Iperen in I promise: those who live a life of the head, and those who live a life of the body. We see the consequences of that gap every day. Twelve-year-old M. grows up in two worlds. At home, there is chaos and violence, and at school she adapts silently. Her parents are constantly on the run — from the outside world, each other, their own demons — and drag M. more, from village to village, from school to school. She seeks refuge in nature and other outsiders — the residents of a holiday park, the travelers in a trailer park, a group of artists in the woods. But nowhere does she get the chance to take root, or, more importantly, to build a shared past with someone. For everyone, she is just a passer-by. And if no one witnesses your life, do you exist? That, I promise, is the story of a girl who has to fight everything in her young life to stay afloat. And in the end, you are faced with an impossible choice. #inequities #training #scholing
