Feet Up
Details
Sofia, a creative 11-year-old with a passion for drawing graffiti, is thrilled: tomorrow marks the grand opening of an authorized wall! But, to her despair, she gets grounded by her parents. Just as Sofia's dreams seem shattered, something extraordinary happens: during the night, gravity changes for all children. Suddenly, the ceiling becomes the floor and the floor becomes the ceiling! Now that her parents can't catch her so easily, can Sofia make it to the wall after all?
