When you’re a bat, you sleep upside down and everything is seen upside down. But imagine that instead of sleeping during the day, you take the opportunity to wake up and feel the sun on your wings? And maybe meet a new friend? He’s a little mouse and he doesn’t walk upside down.

Cosmic Routine

How often do we think about the repetition of everyday gestures? Every day we repeat the same tasks, make the same treks. What would it be like to break free from that? Perhaps it would involve some inspiration from 1980s music videos, some neon and a desire for change.

Death to the Bikini!

The attitude of this film is punk and makes us think about the arbitrariness of the rules of the adult world, which impose decisions that seem totally meaningless to the children in question. Should we prepare for a more grown-up age before we get there or refuse to wear a bikini?
