A first glimpse of the film — one scene, the tone, the magic.
Development-complete and promo-ready — now assembling international co-production and sales partners.
A clumsy teenage stagehand longs to follow in the footsteps of his late father, a legendary illusionist. But when he discovers a real magical world hidden inside his father's top hat, he must choose between the power to become extraordinary and the courage to become himself.
A magical realist world shaped by a colonial-inspired village, a vintage 1950s atmosphere, and the intimate world of a family-run theater troupe — an emotionally rich coming-of-age story with a fresh, timeless message.
A clumsy 14-year-old stagehand at his uncle's struggling theater dreams of becoming a great illusionist like his late, famous father. When Khandoo, a mysterious sorcerer, reveals that his father's magic was real — hidden inside an enchanted top hat and a mystical world all its own — Ollie finally sees a path to the greatness he has always wanted.
Guided by Lilly — a motor-mouthed, hilarious rabbit with no filter and no fear — he enters that world to claim his father's legacy. But Khandoo awakens a dangerous temptation in him: the desire to become powerful, admired, and extraordinary, even if it means losing himself along the way.
To save the magic, Ollie must discover that true power does not come from becoming his father, or anyone else, but from finding the courage to be himself.
"The true magic comes from the heart."
