Getting up at 7 am. School. Lunch. Obligatory lessons. A meeting. Cleaning. Free time. Sleeping. Dreaming. A new day. This is the life of a child, brought up by a system. The story takes place in a youth home for children, who come from socially unsuitable environments. The film follows one year in the lives of four individuals whose paths would probably never have crossed if the circumstances had been different. Now, they share a roof over their head, the joy of birthdays, Christmas celebrations, waiting in line to use the bathroom, fights and teenage love. Despite all the house rules, this newly embraced home is where they want to belong and seek shelter.
