Rome in the 1970s. Clara (Penélope Cruz) and her husband no longer love each other, but do not dare to divorce. Depressed and frustrated, Clara focuses on her three children. Particularly important for her is her relationship with her eldest, who feels that he was not born in his own body. In spite of the opinions of those around her, Klara passes on to her children her values and the world as she sees it - full of fantasy, joy, play and freedom. Even if it tears the family apart even more... "A combination of Sophia Loren and a solar flare - that's exactly how one critic described the role of Penelope Cruz. As the film's director says, this epic piece about childhood not only needed to mature creatively, but also to find the perfect mother-actress to help the children express themselves on set. It's amazing to watch her manage to convey on the big screen the maternal bond and the charming energy of Italian pop classics. And the film's musical fantasies are like the candy we all deserve when we return to the cinema!" (Ignė Smilingytė)
