A harrowing portrait of social cruelty and grief, where a grieving girl's vulnerability becomes a target for systematic bullying in her new school.

Alejandra and her dad Roberto have just moved to town. She is new at school, he has a new job. Starting over is sometimes complicated when you have left so much behind.
