A father invents a fairy tale about an impenetrable cloak to soothe his daughter’s anxiety, never expecting his protective lie to be tested by reality. However, the beauty emerges when the daughter accepts this fiction as absolute truth, summoning the courage to leap in front of a gun because she genuinely believes she cannot be harmed.
In that terrifying moment, her innocence collides with a stranger's rage. Although their survival is technically due to blank rounds, emotionally it validates her faith. The "magic" saves them all—keeping the father alive, the child safe, and preventing the shooter from carrying the burden of killing a child.Setting up the scene
