Synopsis :

Lena is a calm, normal little girl… until the explosion. One day, all her long-held emotions explode cataclysmically! From then on, whatever Léna feels, she feels 200% – and so does everyone else around her. Like her tears, which don’t stop until they create rivers… That’s when her parents were advised to send her to the School for Remarkables, a school for children with extraordinary peculiarities.

But, mind you, these aren’t superpowers, it’s just that these children are… different. Like the elastic child, who can stretch and twist her limbs in crazy ways. Or the flower-child, who has petals instead of hair. Or the stain-child, who dirties everything he touches. There’s got to be a special school for all these kids!

In the midst of all this, Lena (the emotion-child) and Noah (the invisible child) form a super duo of best friends, who always find themselves trying to untangle complicated situations at the School for Remarkables! In the course of their adventures, their peculiarities will come in handy when accompanying the other kids to understand their worries and help them overcome their problems. Because even if they’d sometimes like to be just “like everyone else”, and even if their peculiarities sometimes seem like a burden, these incredible children will all learn at some point to accept what makes them different, and to love themselves as they are.
