Paloma is a serious and very articulate but deeply bored 11-year-old girl who has decided to commit suicide on her 12th birthday. Fascinated by art and philosophy, she questions and documents her life and immediate circle, drawing trenchant and often hilarious observations on the world around her. But as her appointment with death approaches, Paloma finally meets some kindred spirits in her building: a grumpy janitor and an enigmatic, elegant neighbour, both of whom inspire Paloma to question her rather pessimistic outlook on life.
