Emily, a teenager and daughter of an emotionally absent famous actress, is publicly humiliated at school, triggering a chain of destructive reactions. She becomes intensely attached to the school psychologist, Katerina—the first adult who truly listens to her—but her need for connection escalates into boundary-crossing behavior that leads to rejection and a deeper emotional collapse. After a near-fatal breakdown, her mother is forced to confront her failures, and together they begin a painful but genuine path toward reconciliation.
