Kickers is a coming-of-age film about Natasha, and her attempts in salvaging a decaying friendship with her childhood buddy. As life gets in its way, priorities change, and paths diverge. The film tugs at the wistfulness of teenagehood and the inevitability of growing up and letting go.

A young woman, burdened by work and her father’s declining health, is forced to confront the sacrifices he made for the family when he, despite his debilitating conditions, insists on fulfilling a decade-long promise—a family trip to Japan.
