Their mother tells the sister to take care of her younger brother and that’s what she does. But both of them are still too young and being away from home is not easy – especially when the teachers are severe and strict. The only thought that helps the siblings is that they are there temporarily – there are children who live there all year long and have no other place to go. In time Eydis and Kari find new friends and adjust somewhat, but every so often one of them irritates the teachers and gets punished. Their lively imagination and playful minds help them get through many difficult moments and, after all, they will go back home soon! But their mother hasn’t come and summer is almost over...
