A street boy tells his story. He’s alone, homeless and without a family. His mother died while he was assisting her. He’s desperate and attempts to commit suicide, but a priest rescues him. The priest drives him to hospital, where the boy discovers that his mum is actually not dead but was in fact rescued at the very last moment by the same priest.
