Overview

Children from working class neighborhoods wearing patched-up clothes have fun in Kyiv streets - they slide down showy slopes, walk on the brink of a precipice and even conquer the light ice of the Dnieper river. They can see, how rich people live, only through a gap in the fence. The boy Fedko who is called "a tearaway" because of his naughty and disobedient character comes up with some risky entertainment, and adults often punish him for this while his friends do respect him.
