Somewhere between a music-video, a documentary and a fantasy - created with and around a Toronto-based acting-collective called LUSTR.

Ronnie, a 17-year-old competitive cheerleader, literally holds her team on her shoulders as the central backspot position. When hormones, the increasing pressure from her mother/coach, and town rivalries turn serious, anxiety attacks strike, throwing her place in life and in the competition culture into a tailspin.

Two homeschooled 16-year-old intellectuals make a documentary showcasing what home education is really like. The documentary and their friendship take a turn when one enrolls in "real" high school.
