Synopsis

Eli is a young inventor who has a laboratory at home, with all kinds of tools. Among her inventions, she has created "THE GAME OF LIFE" with which those who enter the laboratory can solve their problems. For this, he has many bottles with capsules of values arranged on a shelf and a screen with animated stories that complement the formula to understand and live the values. She has an assistant, Pau, a 10-year-old girl, who helps her in her experiments. Tino, Pau's 5-year-old cousin, arrives, angry because his mother scolded him. Through testing him and showing him different values, they get Tino to share with them what is happening to him, and to resolve the conflict that has him in a bad mood.
