Horizons




A silent book that deals in a poetic, strong and
original way with one of the most complex issues of our day: 
the illegal immigration. A little kid and his journey across the sea. 
His story told through engaging images, is actually the same story of
lots of people forced to leave their country. A journey to talk about
hope, war, hospitality, human rights. 
A little story enclosed in a shell that the protagonist 
will share with another kid, 
on an Italian beach.
