When 15 year old Tim Edge and his two mates, Vic and Alf bunk off from a school trip at the Natural History Museum they encounter a mad female scientist Lena and her latest invention called The Vitalitron.
The machine is capable of predicting the time of death of any living creature, and when Tim decides to sneak inside for a reading, it predicts he has only 2 hours left to live. Tim and his two friends then run amok across London as he attempts to cram a lifetime into 2 hours, pursued by tabloid journalists Tooley and Graves who are desperate for the story to save their ailing careers, and Lena who wants to make sure Tim dies on time whether the machine is right or not.
The story of a group of children born in the High Himalayas of Nepal - a remote area of great natural beauty but where life is extremely tough. From just four years old, some children are sent by their parents to the capital city, Kathmandu, to a school run by a Buddhist monk in the hope that education will give them a better chance in life. For ten years or more they do not see or speak to their parents, due to the remoteness of their villages.
Now, upon graduation, aged 16, the children are making the trek home: an arduous and lengthy journey across mountains that takes them to the highest inhabited place on the planet; a faraway, off-grid land where the way of life has not changed for thousands of years, and where their parents are waiting to see children brought up in a world of mobile phones, social media and most modern conveniences. And then the earthquake strikes.
This film documents the children and their families' scary, moving, funny and humbling stories.
Each moment millions of people are living their lives in completely different ways.

This documentary follows four young girls for one day, each living in a different country but awoken by the same dawn in the same meridian: South Sudan, Romania, Palestine, Finland. Our girls are so different from one another and yet so similar in their behaviours, intentions, desires and dreams.
