Synopsis

When Dani, a precocious nine-year-old, loses her hair to leukemia, she embarks on a magical journey to get it back.

Simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking, Dani Girl is a tale of life in the face of death, hope in the face of despair, and the indomitable power of the human imagination.
