The film is about the growth of American girl Nadine from childhood to adolescence. On the surface, Nadine is a problem child and a problem girl, but in fact, her inner needs have never been paid attention and attention by her mother. From a young age, her mother preferred a smart and well-behaved brother, and Nadine's "weird" behavior that she still refused to get out of the car when she got to school made her furious. In adolescence, some of her rebellious and perverse behaviors also drove her mother crazy. In fact, little Nadine didn't get out of the car, but the bullying at school made her feel scared, she felt lonely without friends, and her mother's different attitude towards her brother also made her feel wronged. But the mother never looked into her heart, she just wanted to solve the "problem" and take coercive measures to get her out of the car. Fortunately, her father understood her, but the only father who understood her died of a sudden illness while accompanying her. And the only friend, who was lying on her brother's bed, also made her feel the anger of being betrayed and the pain of "losing" her friend...
Fortunately, the appearance of the warm man Erwin illuminates Nadine's heart. The teacher Bruna also gave her enough tolerance and timely guidance. In particular, behind the "bad man" Bruna in her mind turned out to be a very loving family, with a loving wife and a lovely Baby, which may have healed the trauma she suffered during her growth to a certain extent. The introspective tolerance of her mother and brother also gave her room. When her heart is illuminated, she is more aware of the trouble she brings to others. In fact, when her inner needs are taken seriously, she is also a lovely girl, isn't she?
