Celia is a student at the Catholic girls‘ school, where she learned to mutely accept the conservative dictates of an environment bereft of colour and individuality. However, with the new classmate, Brisa, Celia soon discovers a thirst for life in all its multifaceted glory. In small acts of rebellion, Celia finds the courage to express her growing distrust of the value system governing her world.
