2017, 115 minutes

Set against the commercially driven world of high fashion and modeling, the story centers on a 12-year-old girl who travels through a magic portal and gets her wish to grow up.

Awkward, impish Violet and her beautiful older sister Savannah are the daughters of an American couple living in Italy. When Savannah gets an opportunity to audition as a model for a famous fashion designer, Violet can't understand what the fuss is all about. The family travels together to a grand villa where Savannah is singled out among a cadre of gorgeous girls to become Italy's next supermodel. Feeling neglected and suddenly invisible, Violet wanders off into a nearby forest where she meets a mysterious woman who sends her on a mission of discovery. Violet finds a time portal that will transport her to a parallel world where she sees what her future might hold. But like the transition from childhood to womanhood, it may be a journey of no return.
