Cleo – How I Accidentally Saved the World
How I hid in the forest and saved the world
Cleo is daddy’s favourite. She gets everything she wants: a new phone, the latest fashion and equipment for her lab. Yes, that’s right: Cleo has a lab. For cosmetics. Her biggest dream is to create the perfect anti-wrinkle cream from previously undiscovered rainforest plants. But according to her classmate Hugo, the plan won’t work, because companies like her father’s are busy destroying the rainforest. Cleo challenges her father to stop this, but for the first time, he doesn’t fulfil her wish. There is only one option: blackmail. With Hugo’s help, Cleo runs away and swears not to come back until Dad does what she says. Let’s see what matters to him more: his company or his daughter?
