The story of an extraordinary friendship. Night after night, Pünktchen sneaks out of her room to sell matches in the middle of Berlin, even though her parents have plenty of money. Anton, on the other hand, barely knows where his next meal will come from. Despite living in different worlds, the two are thick friends. And that's a good thing: when it turns out that thieves want to rob Pünktchen's parents' house, Anton is there with courage and determination.
