Twelve-year-old Olivia, her little brother Tim and their mother Ingrid are evicted from their home and have to start from scratch in a new neighbourhood. While Ingrid struggles to sort things out, Olivia comes up with a protective fantasy for herself and her brother: none of this is real, they are simply shooting a film in which they are the main characters. The invention, however, has unexpected consequences. A new and colourful family gradually forms around them, and through laughter, tears, magic and friendship the two discover that they are the everyday heroes of their own lives. Based on “La Pel·lícula de la Vida” by Maite Carranza.
