A Leap in the Sky
The two girls are like chalk and cheese. You’d expect Yamina’s shy and retiring nature to clash with Zip’s maladjusted eccentricity – yet they become best friends more or less overnight. Yamina is over the moon: at long last there’s something going on in her boring life. But Zip is completely unpredictable and seems to reinvent her past on a daily basis. And what does she see in Yamina anyway? By the time Yamina figures that out, it’s almost too late. Zip spends the night at her house more and more frequently, charms her parents and steals her boyfriend – in short she takes over Yamina’s whole life, until there’s nothing left …
