Plot
Follows the lives of five homeless Romanian children who live in a Bucharest subway. They are among the 20,000 unwanted children who were born as a result of a social policy forged by former communist leader Nicolae Ceaucescu that outlawed contraception and abortion in an effort to increase his nation?s work force. The film depicts the difficult lives that the children lead, and the often unsuccessful efforts of social organizations to return the children to their homes, enroll them in school, or place them in orphanages.
