Xiao Xiao is a girl who lives in her own world, isolated and bullied by her classmates at school for a gnawing secret. Even her own mother sees her as a troublemaker. Her father, who works abroad for a long time, is like a familiar yet distant stranger. Only her school teacher, Paul, seems to understand and alleviate her emotions.
