SYNOPSIS

The weekend is closing in and every child with divorced parents pack their bags. Julia and Martin, both 11 years old, are tired of constantly travelling between their respective parents. When they meet at the airport they get the opportunity of a lifetime. They trade places and engage in a journey that will forever change their lives. At first both children feel major relief. But slowly it becomes clear that you cannot live another person’s life. The children have to reveal their secret and confront their own problems.
