Valentina, a 17-year-old trans girl, moves to a small Brazilian town with her mother, Márcia, for a fresh start. To avoid being bullied in her new school, Valentina seeks more privacy and tries to enroll under her new name. However, the girl and her mother begin to face dilemmas when the local public school demands, in an unfair way, the signature of the girl`s absent father to perform the enrollment. Presenting the debut of trans actress and youtuber Thiessa Woinbackk, Valentina is a reflection of the obstacles that society forces a young woman to overcome in order to embrace who she really is.
