Joost Conijn's video transports the viewer for 45 miniutes into the lives of seven Dutch children aged between 3 to 14 years who are begin raised in Islamic tradition and living on the outskirts of Amsterdam on the edge of a squatters camp. They live completely autonomously and without any parental supervision. At one point in the video one of the young girls on viewing a cartoon magazine states "Why are they crying?" and another latter asks "What does 'be careful' mean?"
