This documentary is my very intimate personal story.
The first b/w part (8 min) was produced with my daughter and father in 1973. They played hide-and-seek, warmed up frozen butterflies and posed for a film crew. The second color part (37 min) was produced 25 years later. The new couple, me and my grandchild Melisse, are involved in real love stories. To link with my angel I use a mobile phone, her prince is riding on TV-screen. As millions of children in all over the world, she identifies herself with a movie hero...
