When nine-year-old Sofia is mysteriously replaced by her adult self, her sister Charlotte helps her survive the adult world - where strange laws like 'leave-it-alone,' 'do not look each other in the eyes,' and 'do not speak your mind' exist.
The Almost Adults is coming of age story, in which Sofia, a nine-year-old child, is mysteriously replaced by a twenty something version of herself. Her sister Charlotte and her friend Joaquim are going to help her survive in the adult world, where, flowered with clever worlds, strange laws such as the “leave-it-alone”, “do not look in each other’s eyes” and “do not speak your mind” exist.
