Too many children in the world live in poverty and are forced to contend with adult problems. Many of these boys and girls lack the resiliency to handle constant setbacks and adversity. They crumble, turn to drugs, or plummet into depression. Others seem, almost miraculously, to have the inner resources to survive no matter what challenges and disappointments come their way.
In this rigorous Chilean film directed by Gonzalo Justiniano, a 14-year-old girl is put through the wringer with one bad thing after another knocking her down. Kathy (Manuela Martelli) lives with her mother (Lorene Prieto) and her older brother Danilo (Felipe Rios) in a ramshackle house in the countryside.
They don't have much money. Kathy's mother works in a shop where the owner extracts sexual favors from her. One day she takes her daughter to meet her father (Eduardo Barril) who is in prison. Kathy is not impressed with him at first. The only bright spot in her life is Chemo (Ricardo Fernandez), a new boy at school who likes her so much that he gives her a copy of The Little Prince.
When Kathy's father is released from prison, he immediately returns to his old ways and while on a trip to the city with his daughter, robs a gas station and steals a car all while she is waiting patiently for him on a corner. Later, the police arrive looking for him and break up her fifteenth birthday party.
