Riya and Lida are sisters, sharing the same mother but having different fathers. After Riya was born, her parents divorced, and her father became uncontactable. Her mother, unable to care for her, left Riya in the care of her grandparents and remarried. From this marriage, Lida and her younger brother were born. However, life took another difficult turn when their mother divorced again, leaving Lida and her brother in the care of the same grandparents while she moved to another province to work in a garment factory. With three grandchildren to care for and limited means, their grandfather works tirelessly, collecting empty bottles and cans to sell. Despite his efforts, the income is barely enough to provide for the children. Wanting to give Riya and Lida a chance at a better future, he made the difficult decision to send them to HVPV, where they could receive an education and build a brighter tomorrow.
