ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Since the beginning of time, people have always protected the little ones.

We see them as fragile beings that need all our care.

But what about the tall ones?

Who takes care of them?

Don't tall people have feelings too?

At the age of ten, Diana, a skateboard-loving girl, makes the most important decision of her life: she will no longer stand on her two feet and will only move with the help of a wheelchair; she is tired of being too tall and not being able to enjoy the privileges enjoyed by "the little ones." The decision causes an upheaval. Her mom wants to punish her, while her father, a good psychologist, prefers to use more modern methods and proposes a seemingly simple bet to the girl: if she can spend an entire week in the chair, not only can she stay there, but she will also get the dog she so desires. But as they say, simple things are the hardest ones, especially when Diana becomes the center of attention and only has one ally left, a future film director who wants to document everything "for science's sake."
