Mrs. Sonja Bata and a student of a footwear design studio not only lead audiences through the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, but on the journey of two women, the search for human similarities and differences, and especially the source of desire and obsession that leads us to seek out and achieve them; these should appeal to even those not interested in shoes at all.

A story inspired by true events about two children whose innocent play will change their lives forever. For Lucia, Jarka is nothing more than a best friend. Ten-year-old Jarka doesn’t see it that way though. She would much rather have her mom try to be a mother instead. Jarka dreams of having a real family and a house by the sea. Left on her own, she stumbles upon twin infants abandoned at the train station and decides to take them in. Her grandmother’s enchanted garden becomes a safe haven where she can take on the role of a parent together with her neighbour Kristian, who himself suffers from overprotective parents. In an impressive manner, the two prove how loving true affection and an awareness of responsibility can look when individuals hold tight to their dreams without disappointing those closest to them.
