The documentary unfolds almost completely from the child's perspective. They speak about their friendships, curiosities and frustrations while engaging with photography for the very first time. The children become collaborators in the documentary, capturing their worlds through their unique filming. The film embraces the magical nature of children's thinking and portrays them not as passive subjects of their circumstances but as playful, resilient and complex individuals, with their insights and sometimes surprising perspectives.
