Annie, despite her tough exterior, is a dreamer who claims to be the mother of a young woman living a privileged life in Europe, but in reality, she has been selling lemons and begging to survive.
Everything changes when Annie’s daughter, who is unaware of her mother’s true circumstances, decides to visit her with her fiancé, a European aristocrat. To maintain the illusion that she lives in a world of luxury, Dave decides to help Annie make her life appear as that of a wealthy woman. From this decision, a series of hilarious and heartwarming situations unfold as Dave and his friends, a group of homeless individuals with hearts of gold, embark on a magical mission to transform Annie into the woman her daughter believes she is.
As the comedy blends with deeper and more emotional moments, the relationships between the characters blossom, and what begins as a simple deception turns into a journey of love, friendship, and redemption. In a world where everyone seeks a bit of magic in their lives, Dave and Annie discover that sometimes, true happiness comes from believing in the impossible.
