BEPPIE is a moving and disarming portrait of an Amsterdam street urchin.

He films her while she skims the city with some friends and knocks at strangers' doors. Her family has nine children and is not well off. In those days, a visit to the De Miranda swimming pool cost a quarter, but only ten cents if the weather was bad.
