However, upon hearing about her place in this program, her life is thrown for a loop when she is confronted by a gang of girls looking to recruit her into their lifestyle.

It was screened at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, and continued to receive recognition at film festivals around the world for its stellar actor performances, cinematography, and Best Picture potential.
