Mickey House (actor Kacper Olszewski) is an 11-year- old who is increasingly frustrated with his changing body. His mom (actress Agnieszka Podsiadlik) is an enigma to him, and, being a loner at school, he finds solace in trading the urine at school to put off the medical checks of other students. On top of hating everything that is happening to the body, the boy’s imagination and the reality blend together into a toxic mix and as everything takes a turn to the extreme, Mickey faces the fact:growing up is not for kids.
