The film follows the founders of the organization Stairway Foundation, the two enthusiasts Lars and Monica, who for more than 30 years have created a home for vulnerable children and at the same time have put children's rights on the agenda of both schoolchildren, teachers and authorities throughout the Philippines. It is also the story of Danish development assistance at its best. An inspiring film about humanity, courage and the fight for children's rights.
