Storyline
Tommy is an unhappy seven year old boy who is still grieving for the death of his father, whilst battling with his new stepfather. When a moth dies in the palm of his hand he is fascinated by the residue it leaves behind - "magic dust, that helps the moths to fly" his mother tells him. Tommy becomes obsessed with moths, seeing them as the only way to escape from the conflict around and within him. Written by Amulet Films
He is Tommy. His eyes, gestures and look, his body in the magic dust of moth are real special, pillars of a short film proposing the fantasy as only escape from a heavy reality. A film about faith and about word of a mother. About a summer evening and a man looking for the right language with his stepson. And the embroidery of a story about deep solitude. The good point - it is one of many situation in a case of a child. The great point - the fascinating poetry of the second part images. A film who gives many answers and a lot of questions. First, for the precise verdict about family. Second - for the refuge of a seven years old boy. And for the magic becoming so real.
