A wordless piece inspired by five of the seven deadly sins, playfully criticizing the obsession with power, money and competition, transforming the sins of gluttony and sloth into virtues. The goal is to restore to the young ones a talent intrinsic to their age: the healthy misunderstanding of the most common vices in the adult world. Thereby, we begin to create little revolutionaries from a tender age, whose task will be to remind us of the elements that make life precious: time, pleasure and hugs. Five stories understandable to all ages, to make a mock of ourselves and have us leaving the room embracing each other.
