An unsentimental look at the lives of three children in a Bronx homeless shelter. They discuss what it's like to live at the shelter, doing without things that other kids take for granted, and hiding the truth about where they live from their classmates. At the center of their world is Big Dave, a recreation counselor who teaches them friendship, courage and self-respect. Narrated by the children themselves, this is an evocative portrait of poverty and youth.
