Sinopsis
Lis is a teenager who dreams of becoming a circus performer and leaving her hometown, even though she knows she’ll have to overcome her parents’ resistance to do so. It’s summertime, and Lis spends her days playing in the streets with her friends and flirting with her boyfriend, who is a few years older. The lack of privacy and the gossiping neighbors force Lis to keep the relationship a secret—one that will change her life forever.
