Two orphans, a young man an his sister, live together in a housing in the suburb. Each of their hand, they trace their path. The brother spends most of his time to serve his neighbors, while the sister had a passion for theater. One lives compartmentalized between the walls of public housing, another escape from it by playing fantasy characters.
