DANI (11) dreams of playing soccer but spends her summer days working in strawberry fields with her family. When a premier soccer tryout lands on the same day she must help her family reach a strict strawberry quota, she plans a daring escape to make the tryouts and be back before her mother knows she’s gone. Though many obstacles challenge her, Dani breaks free and almost makes it to the tryouts. However, when the field foreman begins yelling at Dani’s mother, Dani gives up on making it to the tryouts to defend her mother. In the end, her mother's understanding and promise reignite hope. As the sun sets, they play soccer together as a family, their love prevailing.
