Alba plot
Alba is eleven years old and deadly shy. She struggles to stand among the precocious girls in her class who, like little adults, talk about relationships, but keep making fun of Alba with the cruelty of children. It doesn't help that she has to wear a plastic corset to correct her crooked back and gets a nosebleed at inconvenient moments. And then she is dropped right off the bat with her eccentric father Igor, whom she never knew and of whom she is deeply ashamed. Very slowly and carefully father and daughter get to know each other.
