17 year-old Sangaile, is fascinated by stunt planes. Afraid of heights, she has never dared to even enter in one of the cockpits. At a summer aeronautical show, nearby her parents’ lakeside villa, she meets Auste - a local girl of her age, who unlike Sangaile, lives her life to the full with creativity and dare.
Realizing that Sangaïle’s suffering is due to her supposedly impossible dream of becoming a stunt pilot, Austé encourages her to finally realize her dream.
Will Sangaile accept Austé’s help and overcome herself to transform her fears into strength?
