Mylia, a shy 12-year-old girl, left the countryside town where she was raised to go to high school in a bigger school. She tries to fit in this new hostile environment, coping with discomforts and small victories of adolescence. Her days begin to get better when she meets Jimmy, a young indigenous who lives in a reserve nearby and teaches her to stand her ground and embrace who she really is.
