Emma et Florence, des jumelles de 14 ans, l’une à la peau noire et l’autre blanche, doivent redéfinir leur identité après la mort tragique d’une jeune femme noire survenue dans leur quartier.

The Moodys gather in their hometown of Chicago for the “perfect” holiday. From break-ups to arrests to sharing one bathroom, each family member is packing his/her own eccentricities and hiding secrets from the others – as if the holidays were all about carols and eggnog!

Camille wanders through the countryside talking with frogs and chickens: she sails through life as a carefree soul. But for her older sister, the introverted Mylia, things are more complicated.

It is Camille who eventually introduces Mylia to Jimmy. The boy from the nearby Abenaki reserve is different and he encourages her to break free.
