Synopsis
It all starts with photos of a family. A family we don’t know, but which we feel we do know. At the center: this boy. Who is he? What is his story?
And what if each individual was also the unwitting hero of a fairy tale? A dizzying family investigation, where reality and fiction mingle, sometimes to the point of merging.
In the presence of the directors.
