Young Charlotte is a filmmaker who loves everything that's black and white, including spiders, penguins, and the old movies that she sees with her dad at the Golden Theatre (where the floors are sticky). With her camera at the ready wherever she goes, she finds inspiration for movies everywhere she looks. But when her colorful parents and colorful classmates just don't "get" her, she's ready to give up--until a lucky encounter with a film curator at The Museum of Modern Art in New York changes her perspective.
