Loving your siblings is hard sometimes, especially when they get on your last nerve

Salma is the middle child in a chaotic family. She often feels invisible amid fights over food, invasions of privacy, and endless shopping marathons.

When her little brother steals her stashed treats two days in a row, something inside her snaps! She destroys his most prized possession and makes herself scarce when he's being bullied at school.

But when the ambulance appears at the school's doorstep to take her brother away, Salma is plunged into an inner turmoil she never expected.
