A man becomes intrigued by a lonely girl walking alone, dragging a shopping cart. By chance, he witnesses her shoplifting. He approaches her and listens to her story, learning her life has already fallen apart—she ran away from home and has nowhere to stay. The man offers her cash in exchange for her body. The girl seems slightly happy at his words; simply being heard was a great comfort to her. Taking her feelings into account, the man calls over a friend to join them and play with the girl. Yet, she remains lonely—a broken girl unable to dream or hope, trapped in an ordinary existence that anyone might recognize.
