    Brief synopsis

    The feature film allows a young art student to discover and experience the microcosm of an art academy with all its contrasts and contradictions: Freedom, disappointment, beauty, pressure and poetry united in one place. And in the middle of it all is Johanna, who has to learn to stop trying to please and start being true to herself.
