Street boy – In the poorest neighbourhood of Antanavarino, two men stop the little Setra while working, and convince him they are his mother’s friends. With a menacing tone, they arrange a meeting for the following night and Setra, scared, accepts. The two men send him out to rob, but the police arrest him. The two men manage to escape. The boy is brought back to his mother, who affirms she doesn’t know the instigators. The woman is nonetheless judged by a court, because in any case her son should not work but rather go to school. Setra is moved to a Catholic foster home.
