Jacob Petersen manages an Indian orphanage. With a small staff, he works as hard as he can to keep the orphanage afloat and is personally invested in the young charges - in particular, Pramod, a young boy Jacob has cared for since the boy's birth. The orphanage has been in danger of collapse for eight years and faces bankruptcy. A Danish corporation offers a substantial donation to maintain the orphanage provided Jacob returns to Denmark (where he grew up) to receive the award in person. Apparently the CEO, Jørgen Hannson, wishes to meet Jacob.
