Director Statement

When we are young we believe in all kinds of impossibilities thanks to our parents. People think that when we grow up we lose that capacity; we defend the opposite. Thanks to that belief we are able to dream and transmit to the little ones that magic. Therefore, we have to defend our right to imagine, have the age that we have since. Without it, we lose everything we are and want to be. The motivation of this project is to teach that imagination has the power to make the impossible possible.
