"Trips and dreams" pitch - an imaginative TCA in Montijo

Main characters: Xavier (grandfather), Marco and Giulia (siblings and Xavier's grandchildren)

Time period: nowadays/present

Idea of Main story: This story is centered around relatishionships, especially one between grandfather and grandhildren and all the emotion that comes with it.

We find our 2 main characters, Giulia and Marco, both in the final year of high school.

The two teenagers always had a special bond with their grandfather, Xavier. The old man always wished to travel the world, meet new people and discover new things. Marco and Giulia had a feeling that their grandfather was an «incomplete man» because he never got to experience those things. It was a different time and the possibility of travelling abroad was limited. Everyday Xavier would tell them about all the cool places that he never got the chance to visit, always with a sad look on his face. The documentary/story would be about their will to full fill the dreams that their grandfather transfered to them. In the end, Xavier is "a complete man", as both of them got to experience all of it for him.

Main characters: 

Lucas: tall, brown hair, brown eyes, single father, 35 years old, caring, kind, hardworking, poor.

Emma: 10 years old, brown hair like her father, green eyes like her mother, wavy hair, smart, sweet, shy, quiet..

Lucy: their dog, little, white, young, bichon frise (french breed), sweet, cute, cuddly.

Idea of Main story:

Lucas, Emma, and Anna, a Syrian family, lived happily with their dog, Lucy. One evening, during dinner, a siren alerted them the start of a new war, and bombs began falling. They quickly packed their belongings, with Emma grabbing Lucy, while Anna rushed back to the house for her final items. Just as Anna was inside, their house was destroyed by a bomb, leaving Emma terrified for her mother's  life.

Afterward, Emma and Lucas fled to other countries in search of safety and better living conditions, traveling through Turkey, Romania, Italy  and France, eventually settling in Lisbon, Portugal. Lucas worked hard to provide for Emma, trying his best to give her a good life in their new home

End ideas: In the end, Emma and Lucas travel to Latvia on a winter vacation, and end up finding out that Anna, Emma´s mother and Lucas's wife, has been alive all long.
