synopsis

A girl is ostracized and bullied by her classmates, forced to live in solitude. During a musical performance, she plays separately from the rest of the group. The melody flows harmoniously until a wrong note interrupts everything: it is her mistake. Her classmates react with frustration, but one girl decides to sit beside her and help her. Then another, and another. One at a time, they all rally around her, offering support. Finally accepted, she plays with confidence and the tune becomes perfect.
