Mina is a seven-year-old girl absolutely obsessed with Minnie Mouse. Every morning she dons a red dress covered with white polka dots, puts on a hairband with mouse ears, and goes to school. Although both her mother and teacher want her to start dressing as all the other children in order to fit in, Mina resolutely sticks to her own guns.
