To save and keep her only child, the mother improvises a hiding place. Under the main staircase, an old condemned bathroom is fitted into the night. The police can't find him. One morning, her mother does not come home. Plunged into the anguish of waiting, Ronald watches. He learns from the police that his mother died of a heart attack and is believed to be on the run.
