synopsis
Seven-year-old Lucy is in love with her uncle. Then, one evening he brings an unexpected guest to dinner: his girlfriend. Lucy has a fight on her hands.

In her struggle to win back her uncle’s undivided affection she finds herself caught a world of big girls and little girls.
short fact
"This was my first drama, and coming from a documentary background, the big difference with storytelling was working with actors. We had numerous workshops in the run up to filming which we all found really interesting, the actors kindly said that they would have taken part for the workshops alone. There is no doubt that short films are a labour of love but the journey of discovery makes it all worthwhile. Mel and Dan are regularly appearing on television, and Molly is being very picky about her next role."

    The acting from the Molly is fantastic. The storyline is also brilliant. Well shot.

    we all have the same expectation even we are a young girl or adult when we meet people we love very much.

    A film about love passion, and hope for a young girl. She is a star that little girl. A very natural film. A film where joy and sadness is very cloose to each other.
