Synopsis

In Competition

Twelve-year-old science geeks Danny and Andrès are mystified by girls, but find it very hard to approach them. Can learning the complicated principles of photography help? After all, as this metacinematic short suggests, love – just like the optical illusion of photography – a matter of perspective and projection.
