ROMANIA. 1997.
Severin. Social service for protection of Children.
In the foreground, Cristi 7 years old sent to the institution when he was born, because his parents had no resources. He will soon meet his parents again. He first spent week-ends, then summer with his parents before leaving the orphanage. It took one year to the social service to convince his parents to pick him up.
