Story
The eight-year-old girl Leslie is kidnapped by two men - Frank and Alex. They inspire the child that her parents no longer need her, that they do not love her and have never loved her. With various tricks, men make Leslie believe this. Frank and Alex force her, and the boy Donny, whom they also abducted, to engage in child prostitution . Among their clients there are a variety of people: from bandits to judges. To get away from the problems of real life, children come up with an imaginary world based on the " Jungle Book " by Rudyard Kipling ...
After ten years, Leslie and Donnie live together like a brother and sister. Leslie is forced to earn a living by prostitution . But she is trying to break out of this gloomy environment that surrounds her. The girl goes to the shelter, where she says that her parents died ten years ago. But social behavior officer Leslie realizes that she was the victim of kidnappers. From the database, he finds out her true name and surname, and tells the girl that in fact her parents searched for her for a very long time.
Leslie is reunited with her parents, but the past does not leave her alone. In the end, at night she leaves the newly-found house, and leaves for Donnie.
