- Synopsis
- Alba is eleven years old. She has learned how to deal with her mother´s illness. She usually helps her going to the bathroom, she combs her hair and she has even learned how to play silently in order to let her rest during the day. At school Alba steals objects from a group of girls she wants to be accepted by, and she plays at home imitating what girls do. One night her mother gets worse and has to be taken to a hospital. Nobody can take care of Alba, so has to move to her father´s place. She hasn´t seen him since she was three years old. Edgar is a very lonely man, which works reading fingerprints in the register office. Living with her father is almost unbearable for Alba, because he reminds her everything she feels insecure about. Shame, her first kiss, visiting her mother in the hospital, Edgar`s tender efforts to get close to her and bullying at school, are some of the situations that pave Alba`s journey to adolescence and self-acceptance.
