Beans, a 12-year-old girl, is on edge: torn between the innocence of childhood and the bubbling awakening of adolescence, she's forced to grow up quickly to become the courageous Mohawk warrior she needs to be to survive. Beans is the poignant story of a young girl's journey into adulthood, set against the backdrop of the Oka Crisis, which tore through Quebec for 78 days during the summer of 1990.
