Synopsis
Zalissa, 11-year-old girl in 5th year of primary school, sells peanuts in the evening in the neighbourhood to help her family living in precarious conditions. Her life is turned upside down when she starts dreaming of another life, to be someone other than who she is. So, she lies and steals and is about to fall into prostitution. Is she going to fall or not? Can she get out of it? The film is not only about the life of night street child vendors but also about the difficulty of keeping them in school.
