Synopsis:
It's the end of the day at school. The children are all going home except for Mina who is waiting in vain for her mother to come. The little girl decides to go home alone. A long voyage begins. In fact she only knows the way when her mother is leading her. Which bus should she take? Where does she get off? It's all very mysterious for Mina and grown-ups are not always very helpful. In the bus, she listens to adults' conversations. They seem unfamiliar. Itinerant musicians play a traditional tune. A scream brings the story to a halt: Mina doesn't want to be part of the film anymore... She gets off the bus, leaves the film crew and decides to go home alone, forgetting that she's still wearing the microphone. The film-maker decides to follow her without her knowing. The "story" starts up again...
