Benny breaks through all social systems. Again and again the 9-year-old girl has aggressive outbreaks. She herself is very vulnerable. She longs for love and home. All professional social workers are reaching their limits. The film impresses with the intensive play of the main actress. Camera, editing, colouring and music all correspond to the story in a great way.
