In the black market, a war orphan is confronted with the struggles of people living in the immediate aftermath of WWII.

A woman living alone in a small, burnt-out tavern is forced to sell her body, and is unable to fight back from despair. One day, a child who lost his family in an air raid steals food from a tavern where a woman lives. Since then, the child has become immersed in it, and the woman has found a glimmer of light through her interactions with the child.
