Dyad
Smart, angry, self-reliant Dida (15) will stop at nothing to achieve a single tangible goal – to buy a plane ticket so she can join her estranged mother in the United States. A special offer on a ticket to New York is to expire in a few hours. Dida steals, punches and bullies for cash. As the pressure builds up, she loses her temper and is suspended from school. Alone and cornered, Dida snaps, and there is no way back.
