Twelve-year-old Itamar has a deep passion for ice skating. However, he is slowly losing his hearing, and therefore his balance, forcing him away from his dream. Itamar refuses to accept his doctor’s orders and his parents’ wish that he stay away from the ice rink. Natalie, his new partner, who is a wild and disobedient girl, decides to help him. Together they struggle and grow within a complicated world of adolescence.
