An Albanian family struggles to stay afloat and integrate in Switzerland. In the process, the learning disability of the youngest family member puts the family to an additional test. The parents lack the time and money to support her in school. The older sister, who is still a child herself, takes over the responsibility and puts her needs in the background.
