Mónica HERRERA
Lucy, a seven year old girl, wants to know if a person´s voice can run out and if that could be the reason why her grandpa stopped talking. To find the answer, she decides to perform a risky experiment defying her Aunt Rose’s strict rules.
Seven-year-old Lucy lives with her nagging aunt and her old, weak grandfather. Her aunt is always busy with all kinds of household chores and nosing around in other people’s affairs. Her grandfather sits in his chair for most of the day. Lucy intuitively realizes that a person’s body can be worn down after some time, just as products have an expiration date. The reasons for aging and the philosophies of the human body and energy, seen from a girl’s perspective, are enough to experience the charm of a magical reality. [HONG So-in]
