What is The Invention about?
Fili lives in a busy tower block where everyone rushes past without stopping to speak. She wishes her neighbours could feel like a community, so she decides to invent something that might bring them together. Using odds and ends from her father’s workshop, Fili builds a mysterious creation that attracts everyone’s curiosity. As the invention grows, so does the crowd around it. Can Fili’s imagination encourage her neighbours to put down their worries, start talking and discover the joy of being connected?
