What happens

Xuxa em Sonho de Menina (transl. Xuxa in Girl's Dream) is a 2007 Brazilian fantasy children's film, written by Flávio de Souza and directed by Rudi Lagemann. It was the first film with the actress Xuxa (Xuxa Meneghel) to be directed by Conspiração Filmes, and was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and Globo Filmes.

In the film, Xuxa plays a teacher, Kika, whose dream is to be an actress. Encouraged by her childhood best friend, Lara, Kika decides to go to Rio de Janeiro for an audition. However, a misunderstanding separates the two friends. Kika, alone in a bus station, finds a group of children who are going on a bus to Rio for an important math test. Kika ends up getting on the bus and the trip is the backdrop to many adventures and discoveries. A spell makes Kika go back to being a child - and she ends up dealing with the children's antics at a roadside hotel. The film was released on December 21, 2007, in Brazil.
