Synopsis

Mandy, a ten-year-old orphan, yearns for a place to call her own. Venturing beyond the orphanage walls, she discovers a deserted cottage in the woods. Secretly, she transforms it into her sanctuary, 'borrowing' items from the orphanage to make it homely. However, when she falls ill during a stormy night at the cottage, her secret is at risk of being uncovered. This heartfelt tale explores themes of longing, independence, and the true meaning of home.
