"Kid" tells the story of a destitute, orphaned street boy who survives through petty crime and selling papers. After stealing a valuable watch, guilt and a longing for belonging are sparked when he discovers a baby's picture inside it and later sees a similar image of a mother and child in a church where he seeks refuge. Confessing his theft to a compassionate clergyman, Kid experiences forgiveness, kindness, and care for the first time. The watch owner also forgives him, and Kid is placed in a school, ultimately leaving his harsh past behind to become a respectable man, forever impacted by the maternal image and the second chance he received.
