Sinopsis

During the sweltering summertime of rural Spain, Sara carries an extra load of teenage agony due to the perpetual bullying from her peers. She´s also an outsider at home —her parents and little brother just don´t understand her— so, feelings internalized, she´s often found buried in her headphones, drowning out her surroundings. One day, Sara´s usual solo dip at the local pool is disrupted by the presence of a mysterious stranger in the water and an exceptionally grueling bout of abuse at the hands of three girls. But, in a strange twist of fate, along the way home Sara witnesses her bloodied tormentors being kidnapped in the back of the stranger´s van. (Morena Films)
