DESCRIPTION
Following her dream of leaving for Spain to pursue a better life, Nina 13-year-old-roma girl must become a skilled pickpocket. This could happen under the control of the bossy Vasill, but Nina is feeling trapped in her relation with him. There are days when she is almost ready to run away from him. During her next attempt she is caught red-handed, but her victim decides not to call the police and, instead, offers help.
