Because of her autism, 11-year-old Maya is not understood. When she is forced into a socially desirable straitjacket by her environment, she seems to lose herself.

The only person Maya really understands and with whom she can really be herself is her best friend Kiera. Together they can completely lose themselves in their fantasy world. The two are inseparable. They can lose themselves in self-created stories and worlds, but also find comfort and support in each other. Yet this special friendship is in danger.
