A 13-year-old girl, her devastating loss, and how humor can help her cope. Here’s a poignant film about grieving, directed with much sensitivity towards its characters.

Her mother took her own life. However, 13-year-old Sasha refuses to grieve. In order to be different from her unhappy mother and to survive, she makes four resolutions. First, to cut off her long hair. Second, to stop reading books. Third, to never have to care for another living being. And fourth, to become a comedy queen, because she wants her heartbroken father to finally laugh again. Already the first three resolutions prove difficult to implement, but the last one becomes a veritable challenge. Here is a moving film about the power of humor.
