It's the summer of 1976. Manuela is a nine year old girl who's caught in between her communist and atheist father and her grandmother, a catholic and conservative woman. They both dispute the right to define her name and, with it, her role inside the familiar universe. It will be her encounter with with her crazy uncle, hidden in the library of the family's farmhouse (where he has dedicated himself to freeing the words) that will wake up her need to go through mirrors, transforming forever her relationship with language and names, including her own.
