Lia, a nothing scary little monster that inhabits the room under the bed of the girl Ana, leaves her hiding place at night while the child sleeps. Between unsuccessful attempts to frighten the girl, who no longer fears her peripécias, receives an unexpected visit and, with her, the news that she needs to leave.
Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful. Whatever we put our efforts into, ideally it is to make it culminate in the best possible results across the board, especially when it comes to what career path we are pursuing. We WANT to excel, to shine, to advance, to be acknowledged. AND…let’s hope that we also wish to better everyone around us to boot. However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
The sequel to the 2010 live-action movie focuses on sibling rivalry.
