The young man Tim is the son of a millionaire, but is dissatisfied with his lifestyle and faces the challenge of changing it. After rebelling against his parents and refusing to go to school, he is punished by being sent to live with a poor family in the country for fifteen days. During his time there, he befriends the family's children, learns new skills and understands that financial wealth is not the most important thing in life. He learns about independence, fun without money and the values of friendship, family and love. After two weeks, Tim realizes that his instincts have not deceived him and that there is a world in which morality, obligations and joy go together. His thoughts of dissatisfaction turn into thoughts that look for solutions to problems. He is grateful for his chance to have lived and learned with this financially poor but intellectually rich family.
