Nine-year-old Agalya is on cloud nine—she has been cast as Rapunzel in the school play! But her excitement is short-lived when her best friend, Prisha, turns against her. Prisha wanted the role too and can’t understand why Agalya, who is into gymnastics, suddenly cares so much about being a princess in a play.
Just when things couldn’t get worse, Agalya develops alopecia, leaving a glaring bald spot on her head. A bald Rapunzel? That’s unheard of!
As whispers and self-doubt grow, she must find the courage to embrace herself. Can Agalya rise above it all and let her true self shine?
