Life changes for teenager Renée when a girl disappears from her school.

synopsis

Thirteen-year-old Renée is in school one day when class is interrupted. A girl from another class is missing. When she gets home, she expects to see her brother, but he is not there. In her room, she watches images of the policeman who visited the school on social media. She lets the day sink in. The next morning, her mother says she cannot ride her bike to school but must take the bus from now on. A few months pass and her childlike happiness falls away. For the first time, she looks differently at her surroundings and what it means to grow up.
De dertienjarige Renée zit in de klas wanneer de les wordt onderbroken. Een meisje van een andere klas wordt vermist. Eens ze thuiskomt, hoopt ze haar broer te treffen maar die is er niet. Op haar kamer kijkt ze op sociale media naar de beelden van de politieman die langskwam op school. Ze laat de dag bezinken. De volgende ochtend mag ze van haar mama niet meer met de fiets naar school en moet ze voortaan de bus nemen. Enkele maanden verstrijken en stilaan valt de kinderlijke zorgeloosheid van haar af. Voor het eerst kijkt ze anders naar haar omgeving en wat het kan betekenen om groot te worden.
