Synopsis:
Because Hayta is poor, he is often hungry and wanders the streets without shoes on his feet. Therefore, he is considered «Hayta» by everyone and no one addresses him by his name. The book tells the story of being stigmatized due to poverty, getting lost in child gangs, and finding a new existence through music. It is a true story that stretches from the streets to a symphony orchestra.
