Rita, a willful and unruly teenager, is on the verge of womanhood. Her sexual awakening leads her to intimacy with a schoolboy, too young, and a bus driver, too old. Rita's efforts to break out of her solitude and claustrophobic environment isolate her even more, until one day she crosses the line.
