Monica (14) and Doina (12). Monica lives in the streets since she was 9. The the scars on her face are self-inflicted cuts. They are a sign of self-destructive reaction after glue and alcohol effects are gone away. Monica and Doina take drugs inhaling in a plastic bag the exhalations of aurolac glue (Punga, bag in Romanian), since they were very young. The group is family for them. Many among the guys in the group escaped from home when they were just kids. Many of them escaping from a miserable life, domestic violence, abuses and prostitution. Now the group is their family.
