Creation Festival Awards

Looking through the eyes of film characters. Each character has a different point of view, lives in a different environment and a different atmosphere.
Looking in the eyes of film characters. A different image in the sunshine, a different image in the dark. Everyone has his own story, everyone is free. Everything is possible.
Young people have the gift to look infinitely far without any restrictions, interference or prejudice. Eternal youth is possible as every story can play tricks with time and fool the brain. What is reality? Stories are indispensable.
