Ana is a dedicated student who appears to be fine, but she faces constant pressure from school and expectations around her. Little by little, the exhaustion and difficulty in expressing herself begin to show, even if no one notices at first. When the situation reaches its limit, a moment of listening within the school changes everything. The short film shows how young people’s mental health often goes unnoticed and how spaces for support can be the first step toward change.
