It talks about a rich bar owner named Golda who was diagnosed of a terminal illness. Due to that, Golda wanted to accomplish something she wasn't able to do before she dies and that is to graduate high school.She bribed the principal of the school so she would admitted disguised as a teenager. There she met teen...
