Synopsis 
Juliana is a thirteen-year-old girl who runs away from home to get away from her stepfather's abuse. On the streets, she must face the struggle to survive. She soon discovers the marginalization girls face when trying to get street work and decides to cut her hair and disguise herself as a boy.
