Plot

A moving and unusual tale of two children from a poor estate in Milan whose mother is arrested and charged with selling her daughter into prostitution. Rosetta and brother Luciano are to be escorted by a young carabinieri to an orphanage near Rome, but, after they refuse to accept the children, the journey stretches on to Sicily. An absorbing, if sentimental, drama seen through the eyes of an 11-year-old girl.
