Most "coming of age" movies really mean "let's watch pretend teens having sex." Not here. This is a 12 year old with a loving single mom, perhaps with mild Asperger's, reaching out for more support. What she finds after a 600km journey is a father with plenty of problems of his own.
The point is made that her horse riding training has given her the self confidence (perhaps a little too much as regards cars) to keep going. Her father's breakdown is terrifying but believable.
Sorry guys: no boobs, no explosions. Just a believable and determined girl trying to build her life in a place far away from the setting of most movies.
