I Accidentally Wrote a Book tells the very personal and inspiring story of a 12-year-old girl, Nina, who discovers the healing power of writing. As she learns to write, Nina uncovers her family’s history, experiences the long-suppressed grief of her long-lost mother, and gains a deeper sense of self.  Through her writing, we follow the daily life of a young teenage girl as she struggles to create art, while experiencing her first love and all the difficulties and beauty of becoming a woman. All this is depicted through unique visual elements that blend live action and animation, celebrating the wonder of storytelling.
