BEING A CHILD

„I spy with my little eye!“ is an invitation to see life through the eyes of a child again. Four portraits from four different countries grant us a glimpse into the magic of the everyday. Eight-year-old Kurumi in Tokyo is often alone because both of her parents work long hours. That is why she explains the world to herself and finds very extraordinary answers to the many questions that occupy her. Jorgito, of the same age, bravely defies all challenges while exploring Havana, but when he meets a certain girl, everything is different. Six-year-old Sean lives in Berlin and has to follow rules both at his parents' home and at school that he does not understand and does not like. Rekha is also six years old. She lives in a small hut in the slums of Mumbai and is full of the joy of life. She would love to become a teacher, but she is not allowed to go to school.
