Eleven year old Rosie fled to Canada from Russia with her grandmother. She immediately is hired in a sweatshop to sew capes. Rosie dreams about having a red cape much like the one her dead mother wore to the theatre. She steals the scraps and makes a cape at home, only to be found out by the boss who threatens to send her back to Russia.
