    • Synopsis
    • Jo is a witty 9-year-old girl who loves action films and dreams of being a superhero. However, she is terminally ill and instead of flying through the sky and battling crime, she is taken back to her rural village to live out the rest of her short life. Her only comfort during these dull times is her superhero dream & a dream which her rebellious teenage sister Mwix, her overprotective mother Kathryn & and indeed the entire village of Maweni & think they can fulfil with a little inspired genius.
