A fatherless family in Paris loses their home and so must join the homeless ones who live under the bridges in Paris. Unfortunately they select a spot which 'belongs' to a hobo who hates children, has no heart, and has forgotten his own name. Winter descends and the cold children try to keep warm and get food while their mama works during the day. The hobo reluctantly helps them a little and the story continues to draw you in as Christmas nears.
