Synopsis

We meet Veronica shortly before her high-school graduation exams. She lives with her mother, an
alcoholic, and her mother’s partner. One day when he is drunk, he chases Veronica to the roof of a house
and falls off, killing himself. He was in debt as he was addicted to gambling. His creditor wants the money
back and starts to threaten Veronica. Her mother will not protect her since she is always drunk. Thus, the
young girl must leave home and hide far away. On her journey she meets many characters. Some of them
are comic, others are rather tragicomic. And Veronica tries to find good people with whom she would feel
comfortable and happy, thus giving her life meaning.
