The story is about the tragic fate of an eleven-year-old boy, whose childhood turns into an endless hell because of a drunken mother. A life of starvation, the bullying of classmates, the indifference and cruelty of adults-all this has no end in sight. Exhausted and without any hope or faith in the future.
