Chelsea Smekens-Demedts made this hopeful documentary about growing up in youth welfare together with supervisor Danny Keuppens and his son Warre. It turned out to be the ultimate way to look back upon her turbulent life in a new and healthy way. Through this film Chelsea aims to spread the message: "Don't just look at the behaviour of troublesome young people, but listen to their story and never give up on a happy ending."
