\u00bbI\u2019ve seen adults buying children. Just because I\u2018m a kid, can I not buy myself a mother?\u00ab<\/p>\n

Blanka battles her way through life as a street child in Manila. She lives in a small shack made from cardboard boxes and manages to make ends meet through pickpocketing and sharp tricks. She takes no nonsense in her dealings with the groups of lads in her neighbourhood. When the eleven-year-old sees an actress on TV with her adopted children, she hatches a plan: \u00bbIf you can buy children, then I can buy myself a mother, too.\u00ab By chance, the girl meets blind street musician Peter. He recognises the beauty of Blanka\u2019s singing voice, and they strike up as a busking duo, actually enjoying enough success to finally afford a proper bed for the night and enough to eat. But it\u2019s not long before she slips back into life on the streets once again. Peter finds out about Blanka\u2019s dream, and they end up having a fight. Blanka then goes off.<\/p>\n
