Moments from the life of Mia, a 12-year-old girl trying to survive in the wild world of school, homework, and the daily surprises of teenagehood. Her relationships with friends, teachers, and family are a mix of drama, irony, sarcasm, and a bit (or maybe more than a bit) of chaos. Mia observes this unfair world — sometimes philosophically, sometimes with a genuine urge to crack a joke, even when everything’s falling apart.
In an ordinary school gym, something familiar echoes: “Boys — push-ups, girls — squats.”
But Mia challenges the gender-based division. Her simple question calls into question a routine sense of predetermined roles. A small act of defiance — a big topic: sexism in schools, hidden beneath everyday rules.
