Sinopse
Albert Einstein said "The gift of imagination has meant more to me than knowledge," This statement connects the lives of 4 different people who all willingly or not live outside society. They are not unhappy, though, because they have their dreams and imaginations. Yvette is wheelchair-bound, but that doesn't stop her from enjoying life and writing books (typed with a stick attached to a helmet) The young Kurd Achmed lives with his family in a refugeecenter collecting soccer trophies and doing his best to learn Dutch. Alan is a drifter who spends his days on a parkbench, reading, smoking and philosophizing: "To me, reading a book is like talking to a living person." Marie is a young woman who has given her life to God, serving him in the convent day and night: "You do strange things when you're in love." The muted imagery of the dreamers' light-swathed worlds completes these lovingly filmed portraits. As Alan says, quoting Sartre and Camus, "There's no reality. You have to create it."
