 Áron is a happy child in his family. But at some point things take a different turn, and his mother starts to lose her health rapidly. As this happens, the man in charge decides what s best for Áron without consulting the young boy s opinion, and the boy finds himself thrown out of his warm home into an orphanage in the woods. He s utterly displeased by what s happening, without knowing he has yet to face much worse. After a hard time getting over the harrassment of his classmates and being accepted as one of them, another obstacle on the way to his peace of mind faces him: His obnoxious teachers. He has no intention of being bad, but it s beyond his ability to blend into the revolting place he s in. The nasty treatment of the teaching crew gets the better of him, and he s not all that calm and passive anymore. But that leads into unpleasant events which Áron himself wouldn t want.
