In this short animation using both claymation and computer animation, a street kid is forced to survive in a harsh environment. He hunts through bins for food and is driven by his desperate circumstances to beg. After unsuccessfully begging he returns to the alley and is approached by a man who appears to care but has dubious intentions, pushing drugs onto the young boy.
