Jasmine is an extraordinary girl with amazing curly hair. As we journey through her memories and the adventures her hair has brought her, we meet some of the characters that have been hiding in her curls. Using real footage cleverly woven with animation, this is a charming tale of a young girl’s efforts to feel good about her exceptional crowning glory.
