La pequeña Rosa intenta de todo para "dominar" su pelo, pero ¿hace falta tanto esfuerzo para ser auténtica?
 
Rosa es una niña cuyo pelo pareciera indomable. Su familia trata de ayudarla, le aconsejan trenzarlo, alisarlo, ocultarlo y hasta raparlo... Nada de lo que intenta la hace realmente feliz, pero poco a poco Rosa encontrará una solución distinta a lo que los demás esperan de ella.
