Sans adulte pour les accompagner. Seuls raconte le parcours de trois d'entre eux : Afshin, Alain et Patricia. Leur témoignage ouvre une fenêtre sur les nombreux déchirements, les difficiles sacrifices et les innombrables épreuves qui jalonnent ce chemin rempli d'obstacles. Mais surtout, Seuls parle du courage et de la résilience dont ont fait preuve ces jeunes avant de pouvoir, enfin, accéder à une vie où la menace et le danger ne font plus partie du quotidien. Seuls est une adaptation du documentaire du même nom, réalisé par Paul Tom et produit par Picbois Productions , en salles à l'automne 2021 et ensuite diffusé à Télé-Québec. Trois histoires vraies s'entrecroisent au fil des pages, soutenues par les puissantes illustrations de Mélanie Baillairgé. Un documentaire touchant qui sensibilise à une réalité peu connue et qui donne une voix à trois personnes réfugiées.
