Born to a Nepalese father and an Israeli mother, Kaya is a foreigner wherever she goes. In Israel, she is taken for Asian, while in India she is perceived as a white person. Five years ago, as a home-schooled child in Goa, Kaya looked for ways to connect with her new surroundings and took up boxing at a small club. There, she met Soniya, a Hindu girl who became her friend and rival in the ring. Now, Kaya and her mother return to India to part from Goa for good. Their journey raises questions of identity, dreams and responsibilities.
