Olivia y el terremoto invisible

Summary

Olivia, her little brother Tim and their mother are evicted from their home and forced to start from scratch in another neighbourhood. While their mother juggles to resolve the situation, Olivia decides to invent a game to protect her brother Tim from the harsh reality they find themselves in: everything they are experiencing is not real, they are shooting a film.

Fortunately, a new and colourful family forms around them, with whom they will have incredible adventures. Through laughter, tears, magic and friendship, they will discover that they are the incredible everyday heroes of their own lives.

The first stop-motion film produced and shot in Catalonia. A moving story to enjoy with the whole family.
