Mela, a 15-year-old skater, feels lonely and lost, searching for her place in the world. She believes in the teachings of a controversial relationship guru – if you are not sexually active, you are a loser. In her search for closeness she meets 25-year-old Michał, who impresses her with his self-confidence. Their relationship becomes more complicated when Mela tries to seduce him. To accept herself she needs to confront her past and her biggest authority.

Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
