Strictly for kids

An experimental film utilizing children’s drawings cut against a background of child-like sounds. We see signs on walls: “Help!”, “I am Mad!” and “I love You”, mixed with drawings of people, faces, the moon and the sun, fish, crabs and a sinking yacht. Music by Costas, tiles by Gus and camera by Fotis.
