Ela's Top-Secret Diary 2
How come I, who can count examples the fastest in the class, can’t orient myself in things like words, feelings, and social situations?
Live action comedy/drama about communication, relationships, love issues and mental balance. At the age of eleven, Ela calculates equations with three unknowns and the mass of a black hole. But now she needs to calculate something harder. How to get along with classmates, teachers, parents and other people. Friendship, love and teamwork — these are not easy exams. “Ela’s Top-Secret Diary” works on format of several repetitions. We always start with Ela’s trouble. She then thinks, on the pages of her diary, about how she could have solved the situation differently and better in different variations. What if I had said… What if I had not done… What if… The live-action series is occasionally enriched with a layer of animation that helps to flesh out Elina’s ideas. We also often get into Ela’s thoughts through voiceover.
