The High-Born Child and the Beggar

A short melodrama about the friendship between a rich boy (in a wheelchair) and a poor street girl. When he falls seriously ill, she is not allowed to visit him. After his death, she also dies, on the street. In her hand she holds a flower, which was the last gift that the boy gave to her.
