Plot
[edit]Polleke is an 11 year old girl growing up in an apartment in the big city. Her parents are divorced; her father Spiek lives on the street and is a drug user and her mother is rather eccentric. Polleke falls in love with the neighbor boy across the street, the Moroccan boy Mimoen, but his family does not allow the two to see each other. This leads to a type of Romeo and Juliet situation.
