Poignant and powerful, this coming of age tale is imbued with both gritty realism and an enchanting sense of innocence. Becky, 14, is a young woman with responsibilities beyond her years. Her alcoholic mother is too preoccupied with booze and dodgy boyfriends to take care of her children, so it falls to Becky to keep a semblance of normality for the sake of her siblings. Amid the chaos of her young life, she dreams of a knight in shining armour to take her away, and just might have found it in the guise of shy but sweet Bente - but can their teenage romance overcome the obstacles presented by their grim surroundings?
