At nine years old, Alfred knows loneliness all too well. He has no mother, his father is always missing, and when he does show up at home, he ignores Alfred completely and forgets to even leave him money for food. Alfred is used to managing everything on his own. But one night, something incredible happens: someone throws a newspaper through the letterbox, containing woolen socks, an apple, and a sandwich! This is how Alfred meets Amanda Rustle, whose sensitive hearing catches the sighs of the Forgotten Children, and in her house, he discovers an antique radio. And then Alfred gets an idea: why not start a secret radio broadcast for all the other forgotten children like himself?
