ON EST PAS PRÈS D’ÊTRE DES SUPER HÉROS
Ten children share with us, through unusual interviews, their ideas, their passions, their visions of the world and of space, their fears, and their adventures.
The road movie-like film depicts childhood’s imaginary journey towards that tragic moment when we realize that there is a real world, that there is what we see and what we need to see, that all this was only a game...
An odyssey full of pitfalls, doubts and strength, which, between the lines, explores what growing up means.
