About A Part of You
A Part of You follows 17-year-old Agnes who has always lived in the shadow of her elder sister, Julia. Unlike Agnes, Julia has everything, be it popularity, a vibrant social life, and a boyfriend. Although Agnes doesn’t envy or hate her sister given she has it all sorted in life, she yearns for her charm and status and feels invisible in comparison.
One fated event changes everything for Agnes, who finds herself at a crossroads with Julia no longer in the picture. Agnes tries her best to get out of her shell and move into a world that is not so atypical. While navigating through new things, she discovers talents and strengths that she always had but never acknowledged, and soon she gains the recognition she ever desired.
However, as she inches closer to the life she always dreamt of, Agnes realizes that each of her steps has its consequences. Agnes has to decide whether she’s going to achieve her dreams and become a whole different person or leave her identity, the one she has known her whole life, behind.
