Mathilda lives in a sunny house in Lebanon, surrounded by the sweet scent of jasmine. After being stung by a bee, she discovers that her wishes have the power to become reality. Excited, she decides to ask for everything she’s ever wanted: mountains of ice cream, the schoolyard all to herself, and her mother’s undivided attention.

However, she soon realizes that a world shaped only by her desires is a lonely, gray, and unbalanced place. Through the wise words of her grandmother Ivone, she learns that life needs all its parts—including those that challenge us—to be truly beautiful.

Mathilda and the Power of Wishes is an enchanting fable about self-discovery and the importance of harmony and balance. A sensitive journey that teaches that the greatest power lies not in controlling the world, but in trusting the flow of life and desiring the common good.
