Synopsis

When 11-year-old Zuzanna — or Birgitta, as she insists on being called — moves from rural Iceland to Reykjavík, and later to Poland for the summer, she struggles with language, identity, and belonging. With humor, courage, and a fierce imagination, she tries to reinvent herself while navigating new friendships, old traditions, and cultural clashes.
