MEERI IN A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS BETWEEN FIRST LOVE AND FAMILY CHAOS 

Meeri has but­ter­flies in her sto­mach. But she has fal­len in love with the wrong man. When her crush Rocco is around, she takes off, flies away and no lon­ger has her super­na­tu­ral gift under con­trol. If only her mother were here. The 13-year-old could use her sup­port. As the daugh­ter of a mor­ti­ci­an, she has had a spe­cial rela­ti­onship with life and death. As with good fri­ends, she talks to the corp­ses and tri­es to get in touch with her mother. With lovin­g­ly cha­rac­ters and a whim­si­cal situa­ti­on come­dy, the film shows how Meeri mas­ters the emo­tio­nal cha­os of gro­wing up. (HA)
