Carmen’s a 7 year old girl raised by her Italian Nonna. Her greatest gift to Carmen is a magic spoon which, thanks to a centuries-old spell, when savoring new dishes she can travel back to her memories and relive the anecdotes and adventures of her grandmother’s life and above all, learn vital lessons that will help her in her own life.
