SYNOPSIS:
First-year ecology University student Sonia is the eldest of three sisters, living in a run down one-bedroom flat. While awaiting the student loan, crucial for helping her family, she finds out about rejection due to a system error. She tries to hide this from her tired and angry step mum who was counting on it, by working harder at the café and trying to sell the only memory of her mother, her gold cross. This eases some of the pressure off Sonia’s back as she can pay off some of the bills. However, the pressure from the step mother continues – Sonia is the only one who can share the responsibility for the younger sisters with her. One of the university Professors notices Sonia’s desperation and tries to help in an unexpected way.
