What is it like to be eleven today?
Eleven year olds from across the globe share, in different languages their thoughts on a range of personal and global issues such as war, love, hormones, global warming, terrorism, family, religion and the future. Each of their situations allows a single glimpse into a young mind, and combine to provide a powerful insight into the future of our world. 
An intimate documentary about personal and global issues through the eyes of 11 year olds around the world. "Sometimes I have to remind myself, Grace, don't grow up too quickly, you're eleven, just enjoy it while you can.' Grace, 11, British, living in Czech Republic.
As straight up and personal as the '7 Up Series', and with the comedy and honesty of Spellbound, this film's innovative cinematic approach enables us to explore an age where these 'not quite kids, not quite teenagers' briefly linger, between the frank openness and sometimes naivety of childhood, and the sharp and surprisingly brave wisdom and knowing of adulthood. As much as it is a story about them, it is a story with them, of what it is like to be eleven today. The filmmakers' intrepid style of working allows unusually close and natural access to her subjects and each of their musings on life, resulting in strong uniquely stylised images with strikingly personal portrayals of a generation exploring their take on personal and global issues.
