The 1996 film tells the story of Matilda, a girl misunderstood by her family, with a great passion for reading and best of all: magical powers, with which she is able to move objects just by looking at them. Matilda loves school and has great affection for Miss Miel, her teacher, although the principal of her elementary school, Tronchatoro, does scare her a little.
