Synopsis

The everyday is my favourite day. That’s what grandpa used to always say. But Sophia is tired of the boring old everyday with homework, rainy weather and the same old fare for supper. When she turns ten years, she luckily gets a very special and magical birthday present which can help he skip all the boring bits. From now on, every day will be a party. Glittery clothes, cakes, gifts! Sophia feels like the queen of life. But things derail completely and suddenly Sophia is all alone in the world.
