An overweight fourteen-year-old boy enters a summer that changes how he understands himself and the people around him. Used to embarrassment and retreat, he gradually faces situations he can no longer avoid. The season becomes a turning point as he learns to speak up, withstand pressure, and resist those who expect him to remain passive. His physical appearance does not change every difficulty, but his willingness to defend himself does.
