'The Flying Machine' is a groundbreaking fusion of 3D live-action and stop-motion animation, the very first of its kind, that takes you on a captivating journey between reality and an animated world. The narrative centers around a harried businesswoman, Georgie (embodied by Heather Graham), who whisks her children off to a live performance of the animation feature, 'Magic Piano', graced by the virtuoso fingers of the world-renowned pianist, Lang Lang. In an extraordinary twist of events, Georgie's children find themselves swept into the vibrant animation world. As their reality intertwines with the animated narrative of 'Magic Piano', they join Anna, a young Polish girl who, alongside her cousin Chip Chip, discovers a broken piano with a magical secret. It transforms into a flying apparatus, carrying them across the vast expanse of Europe, on a heartfelt quest to reunite with Anna's father in London. Caught in this whirlwind of enchantment, Georgie embarks on a daring pursuit to retrieve her children, guided through this animated universe by the maestro himself, Lang Lang. As they traverse this world - where reality is but a brushstroke away - they embark on a shared exploration of the essence of home, set against the backdrop of Chopin's haunting melodies.
