But when Anne meets up with ten-year-old Benny, who has no stability in his family and has been pilfering in supermarkets, she decides to look after him - and so meets Benny's father Jegor, a small time Russian crook, to whom she feels strangely attracted. But Jegor cannot satisfy Anne's longings, either ...
