For those wanting a hit play and zone out, this isn't it. It is a film that will lose a lot of viewers because it refuses to glamorize trauma or offer a neat solution. Instead, it challenges you to look beyond the surface and rethink what you believe about human behavior. What looks like a series of bad decisions is actually a masterclass in survival. Once a child, abandoned by her family and left with no one to help warn and protect her from the terrors of life, navigates a world full of predators ready to take advantage of the desperate. If we step into her shoes and the experiences she's been through, she's doing what she's learned from life without the support of family or friends and few resources she has. It's heart breaking but essential look at a life's worth of unseen trauma and the devastating consequences of a lack of love and support. If you are willing to step into her shoes, the film will reward you with a profound truth about how we are all products of our environment and that we all aren't offered the same choices in life.
