This remarkable documentary invites seven children from Germany, Greece,
France and Ecuador to take us by the hand and lead us into their world. They
show us what is important to them, what they love and what they hold dear,
what makes them laugh and what makes them cry. Their stories are told with
authenticity, humor, sincerity and the unlimited power of imaginations.
