A time capsule to keep in the future, a step into the past on the screen. These fragments record moments from the lives of various children, their infancies or teenage years. In some, the subjects appear timeless. In others, we see them grow (Franz, Fragmentos amorosos). The children define the lengths of the shots, the height from which they are taken, the shape the films take (the features, the energy, the reframing, the camera movements), the construction of worlds from minute spaces. Each portrait is a letter to the adult they will become.
