SYNOPSIS
Click goes the slide-projector – a child’s room. Click – a farm. Click – a toilet. With each change of slides two kids who cheerfully tumble through their childhood. “I refuse to wash my hands…” “…and play with knives, forks, scissors and cans!“ “My dad is sooooo fat, because he’s full of love.“ “Does your dad also only buy free range farmers who are happy?” Poetry Slam meets the unfiltered truth of children’s chatter on a playful journey through childhood memories, while a glimpse in old age allows for a little nostalgia. But then again, it’s just a game and: “Growing up can wait ‘till later.”
