Synopsis

Charlie lives in a football-obsessed family where even her mum issues yellow cards instead of scoldings. When her 13-year-old brother, Semi, becomes moody and withdraws from their usual activities, Charlie and her younger brother, Bobby, are puzzled. Their parents, however, seem to understand that Semi is simply navigating the challenges of adolescence. Through this, Charlie learns about growing up and the changes it brings.
