Muna is a young Indian orphan being forced to work in a carpet factory in Bombay. She cannot forget about her little sister Sita who was taken away from her. Meanwhile, Sita is living in an orphanage in the same city. She does not remember her older sister; all she dreams about is having a real family and finding happiness. Eight-year-old Solomon lives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. When the revolution breaks out he is sent away to Cuba by boat, together with hundreds of other orphan children all hoping for an education and a brighter future. After many detours across three continents, Muna, Sita and Solomon each finally find their purpose in life and the family they’ve all longed for.
