Dalva a 12 ans mais s'habille, se maquille et se vit comme une femme. Un soir, elle est brusquement retirée du domicile paternel. D'abord révoltée et dans l'incompréhension totale, elle va faire la connaissance de Jayden, un éducateur, et de Samia, une adolescente au fort caractère. Une nouvelle vie semble alors s’offrir à Dalva, celle d’une jeune fille de son âge.

Film dur sur un sujet très lourd (l'inceste) traité avec un angle assez original. Une petite femme qui redevient une petite fille. L'actrice principale est assez impressionnante
