Recap

Olivia, her little brother Tim and her mother Ingrid are evicted from home and must start from scratch in a new neighbourhood. While Ingrid is juggling to get through this situation, Olivia invents a protective fantasy for herself and her brother: nothing they're going through is real, they are instead shooting a movie. But this invention will have unexpected consequences. Luckily, a new and eccentric family will be created around her, with whom she will go on fantastical adventures.
