Shades of White

Shades of White tells the story of Fernanda, an atypical pale- skinned Brazilian girl studying in London and her unlikely and brief encounters with Joseph, an afro-descendant school boy. Sceptical and in search of her own identity,Fernanda found the perfect excuse to be away from her over protective mother and a home town where she does not fit in. Their paths cross when she witness Joseph being mugged for his bike, and Fernanda tries to find help unsuccessfully. Both Fernanda and Joseph share little in common and their visions of life are like day and night as their skin colours are. Joseph is forever facing the sun, Fernanda lives in the shade.
