Description: It’s the first day of high school for Ciel, a young transgender teenager. But this step is not easy for her, especially since her lover, Eiríkur, had to return to Iceland, and they are now forced to have a long distance relationship. To change her mind, Ciel tries to save money to buy the camera of her dreams and perfect her amateur Youtube channel, Ciel is bored. That’s not to mention the arrival of Liam, a rather mysterious new student (and swimming champion!) who intrigues her a lot … Decidedly, this year will not be easy for her!
