The story of Bica, called Bitch, who lives alone and neglected on the streets of Bucharest. Lured by the promises of former policeman Cristu, she follows him to Düsseldorf in order to earn the money she needs for herself and her little brother. But the job she has been offered turns out to be working in an group of organized pickpockets under horrific conditions. On one of her thieving tours she meets Milka, doughter of a well-to-do family and gets to know the "normal" life of teenagers for the first time: for her a feeling as breathtaking as it is confusing. When Cristu finds out about Bitch's excursions into this new world, he tries to keep her away from it with brutal force. But Bitch's new friends team up to help her ... (Berlinale)
