There's an old Japanese saying that dicates the nail that sticks up should be hammered down. But what if that conspicuous nail is a 6-year-old Japanese girl newly arrived in Milan?

What if she's the only Asian student in her class at school? What if the local kids do what kids all over the world do and target the outsider, follow her in the street, taunt her by making noises that sound like Chinese?

Hammer. Hammer. Hammer.
