SYNOPSIS
Alisa (8) and her mother Iskra (in her forties), a famous journalist, actress, and writer, will be the hosts of these 12 infotainment travel, reading, and cooking documentaries. Alisa will be in the second grade at school. She is fascinated with fairy tales from the books her mum reads to her every night. Alisa is starting to read by herself and her desire to do housework increases as well. So, mum and daughter start a new game – cooking the recipes from the fairy tale books and going to places where the fictional characters “live”. In London, for instance, they have a Mary Poppins picnic in Regent’s Park, with Alice in Wonderland to follow.
