Skate Kitchen
In the suburbs of New York City, Camille begins a new life different from what it was before. Camille decides to establish a friendship with a group of skiers and girls who seem similar to her in all actions, actions and even emotions. It is a new kind of sacrifice in order to understand the true meaning of friendship and brotherhood with new friends.
