For a long time Cristian's dream has been to be an actor. But one day he realizes that what he really wants is the opposite – not to play a role, but to be himself. For 7 years, she, Josephine, with her camera, accompanies Cristian in this self-discovery. Understand that our world punishes those who are outside a supposed 'norm'. Cris in the end decides that the only thing he has to do is fly – with his black wings.[4]
