The only way she escapes is through her music-especially jazz music.When Steffi hears her favourite jazz song playing through an open window of a retirement home on her walk home from school, she decides to go in and introduce herself. She's never fit in with any of the groups at school, and she's viciously teased by the other girls in her class. A celebration of being a little bit odd, finding your people and the power of music to connect us.For Steffi, going to school everyday is an exercise in survival.
