Makena, 'n 10-jarige meisie wat in die Shangana Cultural Village, Mpumalanga, woon, halfpad tussen die Blyderivier-canyon en die suidpunt van die Krugerwildtuin, vier die tradisies van die Shangaan-mense. Sy is deur haar tante geneem om in te skryf vir 'n VN -geborgde skool. Omdat haar gesin arm was, het sy besluit om as aartappelstroper op die plaashoof se plaas te werk. Makena is 'n hardwerkende en pragtige meisie. Daarom, as hulle 'n fees voorberei deur die dorpenaars, roep hulle haar altyd om te dans of te modelleer. Veral as sy volwassenheid bereik, slaag sy ook in die skoonheidsmodelwedstryd van die dorp.
Makena is deur haar tante ingebring om deel te neem aan die nasionale miss universe -kompetisie nadat sy al verskeie wedstryde in die land gewen het. Makena, sy droom daarvan om 'n internasionale miss -heelal te word waar mense van regoor die wêreld meer leer oor die kultuur en beskawing van haar land. In die besonder kan sy haar gesinslewe meer voorspoedig en eerbaar maak, aangesien sy 'n ambassadeur van haar land en 'n modelloopbaan kan word. Makena is aan nuwe lede voorgestel deur afrigters wat in die National Miss Universe Pageant klas gegee het. Gedurende 'n week se opleiding het sy 'n goeie vriendin, Amara, gehad wat haar gehelp het om haar te leer loop.
In die eerste nasionale miss universe -wedstryd het haar span gewen, wat die opleiding nog moeiliker maak. In die besonder moet hulle algemene kennis opdoen en geduldig oefen tydens opleiding, skynbaar leer praat, goeie gebare maak, ens. Omdat hulle na die mark moes gaan om nuwe klere te koop, het hulle deur die stad gereis en baie foto's saam. Haar vriendin het haar ook na haar broer, 'n sakeman in die stad, geneem en saam met hom geëet. Op die dag van die eindstryd moes hulle hul spesiale vermoëns toon. Daarom het sy gekies om haar plaaslike dans te wys, wat baie aantreklik is. Makena is ook gekies as die National Miss Universe om voor te berei vir die internasionale kompetisie van volgende maand. Alhoewel sy die wedstryd gewen het, het haar vriendskap met Amara nie verander nie. En haar vriend se broer het haar ook gehelp om verskillende visumdokumente te kry, wat haar verheug het oor sy vriendelikheid en verlief geraak het op haar vriend se broer.
As die eerste kompetisie verby is en sy almal se familie in kennis stel, is hulle baie bly en wag hulle om haar op die TV by die dorpshoof te sien. Makena se hart klop in die swembroek. Sy het gesien hoe baie meisies op die verhoog gly en val. Daarom probeer sy haarself bemoedig en loop met 'n selfversekerde glimlag wat haar kwalifiseer vir die eindstryd. Snags kon sy nie slaap nie, want sy weet nie watter vrae die kommissie haar sou stel nie. Maar toe sy 'n foto van haar gesin neem, het sy verbeel haar om op te hou dink en aan die slaap te raak met soete drome, terwyl sy haar verbeel het dat haar gesin haar ondersteun. Voor die wedstryd het 'n joernalis wat in sy dorp woon, met hom kom gesels. Hy stel homself voor en vertel haar dat hy van kleins af na die buiteland verhuis het.
daarom weet sy nie veel van dorpenaars soos haar ouers nie. Maar die joernalis onthou haar en haar ouers omdat hy geskenke aan die dorpenaars en ook aan haar gesin gegee het. Hy het haar aangemoedig en was trots daarop dat sy dorpenaars 'n naam in die internasionale mis -heelal gehad het. Makena glimlag, gaan sit en is bly om die mense van haar dorp te ontmoet. Die aankondiging van die program begin, wat Makena laat jaag om die verhoog te bereik. Sy kwalifiseer vir die eindstryd, die vraag wat haar laat weet het wat haar die begeerte gehad het om 'n Mej. Heelal te wees. Vanweë die diep betekenis daarvan is hierdie vraag moeilik beantwoord. Maar sy beantwoord die vraag so eenvoudig soos die vrae wat haar tante haar gestel het voordat sy besluit het om hierdie loopbaan te volg. 'Ek wou 'n Mej. Heelal wees, want dit was my kinderdroom om te wil hê dat die mense van die wêreld meer van my land moet weet en dat die meisies van my land hul toekomsdroom kan oorweeg en die moed kan hê om hul droom te verwesenlik, veral wat ek wil doen om meer suksesvol en beter te wees. Die verwagting van resultate het gekom toe sy as die eerste pryswenner aangewys is, wat haar laat skree van opgewondenheid. Intussen dans haar ouers, wat haar spel op TV kyk, ook gelukkig 'n jaar lank het sy na baie lande oor die hele wêreld gereis om haar kultuur te bevorder en die droom van die meisies uit te beeld. Die volgende oggend het hulle drie saam op 'n safari gegaan en 'n klein partytjie gehou. Terwyl haar vriendin se broer haar liefde vir haar bely, het hulle bymekaargekom en gesoen in die ondergaande son.
