Mylia, a timid 12-year-old child, is about to leave her native countryside to begin high school. Lost in this new hostile environment, she copes as well as she can, sometimes awkwardly, dealing with the absurdities, discomforts and small victories of adolescence. Along the way she encounters Jimmy, a young indigenous outsider from the neighbouring reserve, who will help her stand her ground and embrace who she really is.

A mighty old tree stands in the garden of a German university. Three eras, three human lives, and three clumsy yet sincere attempts at connection: with the world, with nature, and with oneself. A film by Ildikó Enyedi (On Body and Soul).
