Set in 1953, Elsie Kettle is excited to see the Coronation Day celebrations in London. She lives with her Nan while her mother works as a showgirl. When both Elsie and Nan fall ill with tuberculosis, Elsie is taken to a children's ward in hospital. There, she struggles with the strict routine but discovers ways to entertain the other children. For the first time, she makes true friends, including Queenie, the hospital's white cat. As Elsie learns to cope with her situation, she faces challenges that change her life and relationships.
