I Accidentally Wrote a Book

2025 · 98 min

A gentle, heartfelt coming-of-age story about imagination and loss, easy to watch and quietly moving for the whole family.

Overview: Nina loves to make up stories, she wants to become a writer. Though she has her creative talent from her filmmaker father, there’s just one problem: Her clumsy magician brother Junior is bored of her stories. And since her mother died early, it’s difficult for Nina when a new love comes into her dad’s life. With the guidance of a bohemian writer next door, Nina uses writing to process the loss of her mother and open her heart to a new family member and first love. And suddenly, Nina realizes, her life is becoming a novel!
