In a family made up of a grandmother, daughter and a 9-year old
granddaughter, granddaughter is forced to eat. The moral supporter of
this little girl who feels contented about her games and within her

that is pulled over by the (same) man behind the curtain under cheers
in an isolated corner (street) populated by the homeless.
