    • Synopsis
    • A shy girl just landed in Los Angeles. She wants to adapt to the kinda vicious Hollywood lifestyle, but without giving up to her healthy habits that are making her unique, pure and kinda precious.

      Fed up with flirting, she refuses to answer at “What’s your name?” ordinary question, so people around start calling her “NO NAME girl”!

      No Name ends up co-living for a while with strangers, who all ask her name, plus they make faces when she refuses tobacco, alcohol, and other vices.

      While spoiling herself, relaxing in a bath full of avocado and lemon tree leaves, a young handsome rapper enters the bathroom, singing, not-noticing her. They joke about the situation, but some romance starts between them, especially because his real name (No-Vyon = allusion to “novio” in Spanish) fits her new nickname, No Name.

      One evening, on the patio, some teenagers are drinking vodka, she refuses and so they laugh calling her a water-wholic, and other jokes, that she is not feeling offended about it, but kinda ok.

      Having no driving license, her Mexican Uber driver goes to take her home from work, but she must face another funny situation, when a Russian neighbor hits on her.

      The inevitable conflict occurs when all friends and co-living mates are aggravating the gap among her and the rest of the society, through irony. The coolest trans-sexual girl in town, Blair, screams at her during one evening, because she is too shy to dance. Always being calm, this time No Name really feels offended and runs away on the patio, almost crying. NoVyon defends her in front of the others and goes to encourage her, giving a small compliment, a smile and a homework assignment for her to think about.

      Reflecting of NoVyon words, No Name must find a way to thrive, transforming pain, suffering and the fact that she is seen as an awkward girl into something spectacular, but without quitting her eccentric unique lifestyle, so she comes up with a great idea in the end.

      While dancing without music, she has the revelation that she can do ART as a form of inner emotional alchemy, offering thus an example of beauty to all the teenagers that refuse to “adapt” by smoking weed, consuming alcohol and becoming like all the other “normal” people!
