My First Sin is an inspiring narrative of nine year old Tilou who desires to make her first communion. To partake in this ritual, Tilou has to make her first confession but she is confused as to what sin she has committed. It is this wish; this dream to make her first confession and her First communion that sustained her through this journey of a life engulfed both in hell and in hope. We see a young girl who shares her generosity, humor, and courage in the face of one trial after another, no matter what. She never once fails to share her love and joy with everyone she meets. We find the meaning of forgiveness in her words as her eyes are opened to her own responsibilities and how her actions affect others. This is a story about miracles, trust, love and above all, courage.
