Description
Twelve-year-old Mia finds friendship in unexpected places. She's always been an autistic girl trying to navigate a world that doesn't understand her true self. Music and songwriting are her ways of expressing herself, especially with the help of her best friend Charlie, who is nonbinary. Together, they've gained a following online as Elle-Q, but Mia's now faced with performing live at a local talent show. Mia must decide whether to let her worries about what others think hold her back from showing everyone who she is and what she has to say. Will she find the courage to stand up for herself and express her true self, or will her fears silence her?
