Synopsis
A captivating feel-good story about family ties, and the wonderful things that can happen when you allow new people, and unexpected events, to change your life. "Lucky Girl" is an uplifting story about a 30 year old woman whose life is changed for the better when two little girls move in next door. Having had a troubled childhood herself, (losing her mum at a very young age, being neglected by her father) Stella has closeted herself away as an adult. But her two young neighbours, with their curious questions and constant visiting, force her to look back on her childhood, discover some home truths and make her realise that she must look forward and live life to the full.
