Klára (15) should be enjoying Easter Monday like other girls- laughing, splashing in water fights, and welcoming spring. But one year ago, something happened that changed her world; she was raped. Since then, she’s been scared, anxious, and afraid of water. Her big sister Marta tells her to forget it, but Klára knows she needs to face her fears. When she meets kind and understanding Diana, she finally feels brave enough to talk. Together, they return to where it all began – and discover the truth Klára has kept hidden. Along the way, Klára finds strength, friendship, and the courage to move forward. Set during colorful Polish Easter celebrations, this magical and emotional film gently explores how facing our fears, opening our hearts, and trusting others can help us heal – and how even in the most painful places, something new and hopeful can begin.
