A close-focus coming-of-age drama about an 11-year-old navigating the collision between childhood innocence and premature sexualization, told with unflinching intimacy.

Amy, an 11-year-old girl, joins a group of dancers named “the cuties” at school, and rapidly grows aware of her burgeoning femininity—upsetting her mother and her values in the process.
