Chantal, a chubby girl of twelve, is having a hard time finding her way through life. She doesnt have a lot of friends, and at home she can only turn to her stepfather for support as she doesnt get along with her mother or stepbrother. Only in the local pool, where she is training intensively for an upcoming swimming competition, does she truly feel at home. But when she needs a new pair of goggles, things dont go as smoothly as planned and she takes everything to get hold of them.
