After losing her mother, 11-year-old Hania clings to her belief in pixies. Bullied in her new town, she teams up with a young outsider and inventor to prove that magic really exists — and discovers the transformative power of friendship along the way.
synopsis
Following the death of her mother, 11-year-old Hania finds comfort in believing that pixies are real. When she moves to a new town, her fantastic stories make her an easy target for ridicule at school. Lonely and struggling to find her place, she meets Michał, a fellow outsider and young inventor. When a precious family keepsake is taken from Hania, she becomes determined to get it back. To do so, she sets herself an almost impossible task: proving that pixies truly exist.
Together, Hania and Michał embark on an adventurous search that eventually leads them to Sindri — a real pixie. What begins as a quest for proof gradually becomes a journey through grief, friendship and self-belief. When a forest fire puts their magical discovery in danger, Hania must find the courage to act and protect what she has come to believe in. Pixie: New Beginning is a warm family fantasy adventure about learning to move forward after loss without abandoning imagination.
“When writing, directing and editing the film, I never imagined it could have such a rich festival life.”
