Synopsis
A little girl living in a black-and-white world experiences the love of her grandfather and the joy of a summer’s day in the park as dramatic explosions of colour that burst like fireworks all around her. Poignant yet inspirational, ‘Nieta’ reminds us of our ability to transform the way we look at our surroundings.
