Three streetkids wander the streets of Addis Abeba. They try to survive by using their inventiveness, committing minor thefts and supporting each other solidly united.
Homesickness, chance and necessity however make them venture a journey towards the north of Ethiopia.

The kids will then have to deal with the fears and memories that have arisen during the trip under the new circumstances, with the past being vividly present.
