"The triumph of the human spirit"

Cahaya, a 10-year old trash-picker from the slums of North Jakarta dreams of owning a bicycle. One day, while searching for recyclables, her wish comes true through an unexpected, fantastic find. Yet soon enough, the other children see her treasure and want it too - especially a neighborhood bully named Hasan, who corners Cahaya and steals the bike.
