Summary

Miroslav Janek discovers life in an orphanage through a game. He chooses children as his partners in creating the film, teaches them how to handle the camera and leaves them to film the environment in which they live by themselves. The film camera in the hands of children tears down the wall between two worlds – it's a toy, as well as a tool for communicating joy, sadness and secrecy.
