A boy looks into a pastry shop's window, runs inside to buy a cupcake, then runs like the wind to school. We hear the clang of a cash register being closed half a century ago. This sweet beginning does not foreshadow an adventure more bitter: the adventure of the boy, or perhaps someone else? Was it really a cupcake? Who in the end shall be the one getting his hands dirty?
