Monica Shah is 11 years old, she lives with her
parents and younger sister, Gina.
She has the idea of growing raspberries as her school science
project. She wants to test nurture
versus environment. Her first idea
is to grow them in a sealed environment and use mechanical fingers to nurture
their growth. This is not working
and another student may have sabotaged the plants? She decides to grow them in the forest near her house since
this is their natural environment.
She will nurture them with her physical touch and also her emotional
feedback. There are a lot of
financial and emotional problems affecting her family during this time. Her mother is not well and she falls
into a deep depression.
This is a family drama more than a comedy
and not very much is funny about what is happening. The two girls are worried that their parents may get a
divorce. Monica has the idea that
her father will come back if she is successful with her raspberry plants? 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
