LILLY THE LITTLE FISH / ЛИЛИ РИБКАТА

A fairy tale about the metamorphoses of an extraordinary child, producing a magic whirlwind every time somebody looks the child straight in the eye, which changes the child’s sex. Taken by the caring parents to a small village in the countryside, the child meets a peer, Lily, daughter of a gypsy family of sorcerers. Lilly makes a great sacrifice in the name of love.

„As adults and parents we are responsible for our children. Often, they lose pride and self-confidence because of us. I imagined the Unusual Child as very fragile and as a metaphor. I wanted to underline the role of the adults and the importance of their eyes: they can be full of love for the children, but also full of aggression.“
