Abandoned by her parents, assailed by debt collectors and overdue on the rent, a schoolgirl attempts to balance school and part-time jobs and looking after her younger sister. Against herself she is drawn to an abandoned theme park and the mysterious character living there who claims to be a magician. Despite the rumours about him and a missing schoolgirl.
A confident and wise short series about the power of magic if we believe in it to redirect lives. The power of magic to make us believe in magic. The power of magic to help us come out the other side.
In common with "The Sound of Music" there are musical numbers in this (in the middle of the final credits the cast do a little number as an encore). Creative and entrancing.
