When devastation ravages her tiny family. Annelise becomes the comforting friend Margriet needs for a long time to come.
A few years later, Margriet is blossoming into a kind young lady. Keen to escape her mother and strike out on her own, she forms an unlikely friendship with some of the street children who roam the town.
