Synopsis
Perspective is everything when two eight-year-old girls awaken from dreams of lives very different to their own. Irene’s dream is horrible – in it, she has to do all kinds of awful chores like cleaning the kitchen and looking after her sick mother. Amina has a lovely dream about a city where she can get to school easily by bus and there is always enough food. Deceptively simple, this moving short reminds us to be grateful for the things we have.
