Uprooted far from his loved ones unable to speak French and faced with a completely alien world he becomes despondent. When he refuses to eat and expresses a wish to die his nurse Carole comes to the realization that Tivii's illness is not the most serious threat to his well-being. She arranges to have a young orphan Kaki transferred to the institution. The boy is also sick but has experience with both worlds and speaks both languages.
