Directing
Matilda can't fall asleep and starts playing with her bedside lamp until the lightbulb finally burns out and she finds herself plunged into darkness. She overcomes her fear and, using her torch, starts exploring her room in the new light, discovering all the wonders of the night.
Olivia, a 12-year-old middle class girl, is forced to reorganize her basic needs when her family (mother, little brother and herself) is evicted and forced to live in a squatted apartment on the edge of the big city, in a rough neighborhood. Her mother can no longer bear the situation and falls in a depression, so Olivia has to replace her. It means caring for her brother and her own mother, while dealing with the feeling of an emotional earthquake. But she is not alone, Olivia will make friends that will help her to see her own life from other points of view. Because things don’t always happen the way we want, but we can choose the way we live them.
Every night, when the museum closes its doors, the mironins, Blu, Low and Ro, three little drops of paint that live in the paintings created by the Spanish painter Joan MirĂł (1893-1983), come to life and immerse themselves in an inexhaustible universe where art and imagination reign.
The sun rises happily over the horizon and is welcomed by the most beautiful landscape.

What they do not realize, is that whatever they do, it will affect them sooner or later. However the cosmos is not that patient…
