Nine-year old Marta has just moved to the UK with her Polish mother and Italian father
Nine-year old Marta has just moved to the UK with her Polish mother and Italian father. Though she already speaks English, she is not yet confident about the language. Her classmates tease her relentlessly and treat her like an outcast. After a hard day at school Marta runs off to play together with Leila, her only friend. When they walk along the street suddenly a woman collapses in front of a cafe and can barely breathe. It becomes evident to everyone who is trying to help her that she does not speak English. As the ailing woman desperately tries to explain something, no one can understand her. Marta intervenes and realises that she speaks Italian, just like her father! She figures out what is wrong and saves her life. In the end Marta smiles triumphantly because everyone recognises that her linguistic skills have saved a life.
