    the ambiguity
    The ambiguity is the clay for this short film for build the story. But all seems and becomes wrong. You expect a real story. I t has not one. You expect discover if it is a piece of rich imagination of a boy desiring keep attention or the naked truth. But you only suppose. The worst - it remains so ambiguous. Short, a try.
