The story of a woman who is slowly saying goodbye to the life she led. Everyday acts are carefully executed. There is a deceleration, as if life is a sequence of still lifes. The body has a central role in the film. It functions as an instrument, it triggers memories. Movements are closely monitored and the emphasis is on the visual and auditive aspect.

In a summer afternoon, someone dribbles coffee on himself, someone feeds pigeons, someone kills a bee, someone dies, someone copies, someone listens to the radio, someone makes a phone call, someone… And between all these people, there just might be a connection.

A film about mourning. Small Mwansa lives with his sister and his mother in Zambia. His father died recently and to process this stroke of fate, the two children fall into their fantasy worlds. The dream worlds of the siblings become reality, the little boy who in his cape transforms to become grown warrior, a toy car is his SUV, which all the children climb in to search for magic mud. In this game of realities the adverse circumstances mix with the fantasies of children. Desires are visualized here unsentimentally and grief is acted out in escapism in a very special way.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. The festival prefers film treating important subjects in an original way, films which don't avoid ambiguity and complexity, films, which are sometimes stay enigmatic, so that refection and mind are going on moving, exceptional films, which covers all kind of artistically expressions, films open for esthetical innovation, shortly films reflecting the perturbing strangeness of the modern world in a complex way.
