Ola is a 17-year-old girl with boyish moves, hair falling over her big blue eyes all the time, bitten nails, and arms covered in scars from self-mutilation. Because she has run away from an orphanage too many times, the court has placed her at a youth detention centre. She’s got no fancy clothes or expensive phone. Unlike the other girls, she refuses to provide any sexual services to the caretaker in exchange for cigarettes or small sums of money. The only thing she wants is to get her mother back. The girl is an ardent athlete. She believes that once she starts being successful at sports events, her mother will find her. But because she is so “separate” from the world, she becomes a victim of violence.
