The boy is around 12 and he lives in the streets. He sleeps where he can and finds food how ever, usually by stealing. One day after being chased out of his sleeping location he realizes that he forgot his sandals. Going back the cart that he slept in is gone, and the owner nowhere to be seen.
This starts his journey of finding his prized sandals. On this journey he meets a man, and in the course of things his sandals are hardly that important any more. This man loves him, when he shouldn't.
