Emma, a curious and imaginative nine-year-old girl, loves unicorns, spaceships, and Christmas trees. She lives with her eccentric family: her mother Sara, a molecular gastronomy enthusiast; her sharp-witted grandmother Loredana; and her strict father Leo, a science teacher worried about the fantasy world Emma lives in. Emma’s imaginary friend, Mojito, helps her escape from reality, but her parents, on the verge of separation, struggle to understand her. Meanwhile, Bob—Leo’s long-forgotten imaginary friend—reappears, trying to reconnect with him before disappearing forever. The story explores Emma’s journey to find a balance between her dreams, reality, and her family dynamics.
