    • Synopsis
    • Ten-year-old Toda lives in a bakery with her dad, the best pastry chef in
      town. Toda knows everything there is to know about cakes and pastries and
      loves it when her dad plays the trumpet. But one day, everything changes:
      her dad is called away unexpectedly to defend his country. Toda has to
      undertake an adventurous and challenging journey to the unknown
      neighbouring country where her mother lives in order to stay safe. On the
      way she meets strange people, encounters absurd situations and finds a
      special new friend. Toda is a bright, optimistic and resilient girl who doesn’t
      give up easily, but will she eventually find her mum?
