Wie aus den Augen eines neugierigen Kindes sehen wir Bilder, die das Herz zum Überlaufen bringen, Unsichtbares auf berührende Weise sichtbar machen. Wir hören Statements aus aller Welt, die versuchen, das, was an sich unerklärlich ist und unsere Lebendigkeit ausmacht zu beschreiben. Unbeschreiblich kostbar und ein filmerisches Kleinod mit großem Ausdruck."
