Upon her return, Silvia cannot bring herself to confess the truth about her absence to her husband, the children's father. The children meet a Pole who supplies restaurants with toiletries and promises to bring them home. Meanwhile, the unsuspecting father sets off with the stepmother in search of the supposedly abducted children.
