Synopsis

A smart, heartwarming story about peer pressure, friendship, and growing up without a smartphone.

Zayna is the only one in her class without a phone — and it’s starting to feel like the whole world is happening without her. Her best friend has joined the Galaxy Crew, a group chat that runs school life from behind screens. The jokes, the plans, the secrets… all shared in a space Zayna can’t access.

But when the group chat causes real harm and friendships begin to unravel, Zayna discovers that not having a phone might actually be her superpower.

With quiet courage and one bold idea, she shows her classmates what real connection looks like — no Wi-Fi needed.
