Mylia, a timid 12-year-old, must leave her little sister and native countryside to enter high school. Lost in this new hostile environ¬ment, she meets Jacinthe, who introduces her to teenage ritu¬als and absurdities, and Jimmy, a fierce young native from the neighbouring reserve with whom she secretly befriends. Together, they will trace the contours of a new life.
