The 9-year-old Mieke looks for support and structure in her family, while her anarchist parents live in middle-class prosperity, but at the same time try to avoid any middle-class trappings. Caught in a world in which apparent adults are actually children, Mieke escapes into daydreams and finally onto the roof of their house.
