This short film is special! If in this world we have undermined the claim that art is changing lives, and this film is an attempt to refute the status quo. Not just because children were involved in the creative process, but because it is mostly an important pedagogical and motivational experiment. Both the characters and the children have fallen out of the world. In reality they live in one of the poorer regions of the European Union, and although the closest cinema is 50 km away, making movies themselves is the only cultural instrument they have access to. Like Baron Munchausen, they have to pull themselves out drowning. Dazzled by the banality and fragmentary images in their everyday life, this film is thair wakeup call for the future. And just as in the movie, this future is vague, even apocalyptic. The film is a short and childish attempt to tell the story of difficulty of living together. For the children who have created this movie, it's not just a cinema exercise, but is a life lesson through the language of cinema.
The plot goes like this… The end of the world. All people have disappeared except for a few children who have survived and are hiding in the woods. They create a new world in their camp - with their own rules and laws. They are nine, but they soon realize they are not alone.
