An adaptation of the author's children's book of the same name. It is the story of a studious and loving girl who lives in harmony with her family, but refuses to eat and loses so much weight that she is carried away by a balloon... The short film reflects on good eating habits for children, something extremely important in an age of fast food and sweets. Thus, young audiences will follow the love of a family, but also the consequences of disobedience and all the conflicts that arise from it, faced by the protagonist.
