Visions du Réel

In Mardin, a Turkish town close to the Syrian and Iraqi borders, an analogue photography workshop brings a group of children together. The director delicately documents the seemingly carefree nature of their daily lives, while exploring the way in which they learn about photography and its mysteries. A shared adventure enhanced by a film filled with joy and music.
