Miriam is the 17-year-old daughter of Egyptian parents. She lives with her mother and her sisters in Milan and like them, she has a small cross tattooed on her wrist, the identifying sign of the Orthodox Coptic community. For Miriam, that cross is becoming heavier and heavier, like her responsibili- ties with the family, from which she tries to escape seeking a foothold in her group of friends.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Blistering performances.
