Countries Belgium

Synopsis
What kind of futures can be read in the impersonal fragments of our reality? With the help of an old magic lantern, the director asked children from Brussels, Athens and Sarajevo to project their own impressions, dreams and fears onto countless abstract patterns. The result is a form of “magical reading”, as the perception of unforeseen correspondences and constellations that confront us with the undercurrent of the present.
