Nine filmmakers each profile a young girl from a different part of the world to weave a global tapestry of youth in the 21st century.
A normal day at school. Nina and Ruby have an argument in the bathroom. Fed up with Ruby, Nina enters a cubicle to be alone. Moments later, Nina hears a shot being fired. Whilst hiding, she becomes witness to an unfolding school shooting and soon needs to fight for her and her friend's survival.
Nadia has to choose between looking after her suicidal depressed mother, and attending a job interview which could change her life and provide for her family.
