Pènktchen and Anton are closest of friends. Being the daughter of a wealthy surgeon, young Pènktchen lives in a great house. Her mother, who always travels through the world more for public relation reasons than for the social tasks she pretends to fulfill, is never available to her as a mother. Anton, son of a single and sick mother in financial trouble, does his best to help her out of it by working late. Pènktchen decides to help her only friend (as nobody else would anyway) and starts singing in public places. Trouble arises when Anton can't resist stealing a golden lighter and Pènktchen's secret life is discovered by her parents. Two troubled families finally can see the need for actions to be taken.
