Through

March 1956, Mad-Bey, Ketchikan, Alaska. A baby is born. Through the attic windows, keyhots, magnifying glasses, we look at the surrounding world with his eyes. Tombed from infinitely small to infinitely large - from a beetle moved under a magnifying glass to the stars flickering in the lens, from the hydraulic planes flying over the head of the universe, we observe how it grows, makes discoveries, dreams of space, loses its loved one , gains love, crosses the atmosphere, educates his son, worries parting and returns to the parental house. Before us, human life unfolds, simple and grandiose.
