In the world there are cities where time doesn’t exist. Where people don’t care whether you survive or die. Where innocent children are lined up and shot cold-bloodedly. And what should those of them do who are lucky enough to survive? Those with a torn soul, who—despite circumstances—try to keep warmth inside and remain human? Kristina is one of those children. She grew up in the streets of São Paulo, slept in cardboard boxes, and stole food to survive. As a little girl, she fought for her life every day. When she was 8 and her name was Kristina, her foster family took the girl to another country, to the north. The thought that she “ran away” to Sweden and betrayed her mother split her in two. Who is she: a Brazilian or a Swede? Why won’t the past let her go? Twenty-four years later, Kristina returns to Brazil to finally sort out the past and learn the truth about what really happened to little Kristina.
