The video is the result of an experience of raw video conducted with six severely handicapped youths over 14. The images were produced in front of the telecamera using various materials sand, flour, paper crayons, etc. The Laboratorio teachers and the CST educators then invented a plot which would serve as a container for this experience. The parents of the youths also took part in the activity.
