Her new world provides a life of conditional luxury - if she wants to earn her ownmoney, she must become a cleaner or a nurse. When a kind stranger encourages her to study filminstead, her husband supports her - until he loses his lucrative job and becomes violent. Jessicareturns to Nigeria, convinced that she can make the most of her Australian education there -until she remembers that as a Nigerian, she can reach her goals anywhere.
