What do you do when your parents decide it’s time to go home but you don’t want to? You need a clever plan! Anna is eager to see the monkeys, but her dad doesn’t agree. Luckily, he’s so distracted by his smartphone that he doesn’t notice Anna taking the hand of another dad who is just as distracted. Passing from one hand to another, Anna visits the entire zoo and has an incredible afternoon. Until someone notices the deception: so the little girl passes from hand to hand again and returns safely to her dad. He didn’t notice anything, and Anna is back just in time for lunch. But are we sure it’s Anna sitting at the table? After all, the circus has just arrived in town…

What happens when you put together an energetic little girl and a careless dad? An invitation to appreciate time with your children without distractions.
