OVER-THE-TOP COMEDY ABOUT THE CHEEKY ELLA AND HER FAVORITE UNCLE 

Ella can’t belie­ve it: While her par­ents are on vaca­ti­on, she is sup­po­sed to stay with her bor­ing grand­ma and her dop­ey tri­plet uncles. Ella has other plans, and wit­hout fur­ther ado, she moves in with her favou­ri­te uncle Tommy, who calls her Mini-Zlatan. A dream week is yet to come but sud­den­ly Steve, Tommy’s new boy­fri­end, shows up. Ella’s jea­lou­sy is gre­at. With all kinds of pranks, she wants to get rid of Steve. Almost too late, she rea­li­zes that she is put­ting her fri­end­ship with Tommy at risk. With a lot of situa­ti­on come­dy, the tur­bu­lent film tells the sto­ry of a child who only gra­du­al­ly under­stands that she is not the cent­re of the world and what fri­end­ship real­ly means.
