But her relief is short-lived as it soon becomes clear that a roof over her head comes with a price - of a type so unbearable she must escape once more. Destitute and penniless, a stench-ridden housing court in the back streets of the factories is Laura's only hope of a dwelling - a place where both the filth and the kindness of neighbours overwhelm.
