Puberty, sibling rivalry, and school crushes make up the small world that ten-year-old Vicky lives in. But the memories of birthday cakes and carefree days begin to get muddled when persistent anxieties set in to haunt the past. The clutter, clash, and recollection of her mistakes, insecurities, and triumphs reconstruct the ever-changing phases of Vicky’s tween life. A stranger to her own self, director Vicky Lee reflects on the naive girl that she once was.
