story
Honey, a shy 13-year-old, hides the truth about herself and her chaotic family, struggling to reveal her true self in her new class. She loves playing music – and is really talented – but no one knows that yet. All Honey wants is a spot in Liam's band, "Rock Till We Drop". So, when she discovers that her supposedly dead, music-loving grandfather Marcel might actually be alive, she sets out to find him. Perhaps he's exactly what she needs to finally learn to stand up for herself.

“Children are a fantastic target group. They’re more open than adults to offbeat storytelling. Children just get up and leave whenever they get tired of something. I like that a lot. It’s a gut reaction – instead of being overly logical about how they ought to react.” - Natasha Arthy
