12-year-old Cristina lives in a remote region of Moldova, where she has to largely fend for herself. Thanks to a combination of youthful creativity and a clever business idea, the young girl soon finds herself her village's primary employer. This allows her to provide for her younger brothers - and to pay for her parents, forced to work for low wages in other countries, to return home… A moving, poetic and compelling story, both tragic and funny, about a childhood both on the edge and at the heart of Europe.
