Its aim is to create a kaleidoscope of sensations and colors, of different worlds and distant lives, to shatter the walls that divide us and affirm the desire to communicate, to find oneself, to feel one. “Eight sections for eight ways of celebrating diversity and closeness, through a multiplicity of gazes that investigate, contemplate and experiment through the language of cinema, to guide us in this magical experience”.
