Simona is a 16-year-old Italian girl from Milan. She loves shopping in the streets of her beloved city and dreams of one day becoming a fashion designer. When Simona's father loses his job, her life turns upside down. Simone and her father move to live with her grandmother, Nonna Pina, in Siena, a more rural, smaller Italian town. Simona misses her life and friends in Milan and is having a hard time adjusting to her new life in Siena. Simona faces challenges not only in school, but within her family as well. Will Simona find the strength to grow and thrive in this new city, or will her stubbornness and close-mindedness prevent her from embarking on new experiences?
