Here we have the heart-rending tale of a little Russian boy's quest to find his mother.

Six year old Vanya lives in an orphanage. In Russia, and much of eastern Europe, such places are over-flowing with scores of unwanted and abandoned children. In these places, they are frequently abused, neglected, and exploited. Education opportunites are gravely lacking in these facilities. In fact, they lack most of the basic necessities of day to day living. All this is portrayed in this outstanding film.

Vanya, a brave and innocent soul, has misgivings about his impending adoption by a wealthy Italian family. He learns that his real mother still lives in the city where he was born. Exhibiting the Russian capacity for suffering and hardship, Vanya makes his way by train and foot across the decrepit urban landscape. Vanya encounters people both malevolent and benign as he embarks on his desperate search.
