Film commentary: Lila
And if our drawings could change the course of things. An unusual and poetic interruption in the real world. Something to dream about for young and old alike. A beautiful idea about the power of imagination and a perfect production. A must-see. Have fun with your students from kindergarten onwards imagining and drawing new situations.Discover Carlos Lascano's other films
