International 4
Total: 86 mins 39 secsWe bring together four unique stories that feature childhood perceptions as the centre stage. We visit India to hear from a young girl who is promised a burger from a stranger, whilst an Iranian father finds it hard to handle his three year old daughter during a weekend visit. Mozambique offers a stunning backdrop for a family living in a game park waiting for an apology from God, and a Reunion Island fable is told about a battle with death amidst a trance ritual.

In an insular city’s ghetto, in the midst of a trance ritual, a young girl is paralysed by fear. She is afraid her loved ones may be hurt or even disappear. It is then that her grandmother tells her the strange tale of Edwardo, the first one of his kin to have seen and fought death.
