Competition Programs | International Competition: Love won't tear us apart
MEGOGO

7-11.09

The program will be available September 7-11 online on MEGOGO

Somewhere between connections, confessions and family stories, random worlds arise. Here, nobody is surprised that one confused little goat can change reality, a car tire is able to transform a boy's life, and a photo frame can transform a warm August evening.

Running time 72 min.
