    • Synopsis
    • Mylia, a timid 12-year-old child, is about to leave
      her native countryside to begin high school.
      Lost in this new hostile environment, she copes
      as well as she can, sometimes awkwardly,
      dealing with the absurdities, discomforts and
      small victories of adolescence. Along the way she
      encounters Jimmy, a young indigenous outsider
      from the neighbouring reserve, who will help her
      stand her ground and embrace who she really is.
