Synopsis:

Follows a thirteen-year-old girl's struggle to retain her childlike optimism in the face of the harsher realities of adult life. This particular teenage girl leaves Russia with her mother and older sister, Katia, hoping to find a better life. But after arriving in Amsterdam, they are soon disillusioned. To make ends meet, the girls' poor mother finds herself soliciting on Amsterdam's seediest streets and Katia starts stripping. As the young girl watches her family's lives spiral hopelessly downward, she retreats into emotional isolation. In a world defined by drugs, prostitution and pornography, the things she values most have become virtually worthless. In turn, she becomes just Katia's little sister"--a girl with no name of her own.
