Alma, a recently adopted 8-year-old refugee from El Salvador, spends a day preparing for her first red carpet appearance with her new pop star mother, Yahaira. She learns from example and mirrors a series of routines as she absorbs that perhaps to cement her place in this new life she must be "liked" in more ways than one. As she takes in her new environment, she finds herself haunted by whispers of the life she left behind and awakened to the fragility of her new one after an innocent series of actions and encounters with her newfound fans on social media doesn't go as expected.
