Subtle harmony of opposites

Synopsis
Otto, wearing shorts and thin shoulder blades under his striped shirt, loves fairy tales. The ones his father tells him when he walks him to school. Because with the power of imagination, anything is possible, even making his mother happy, who spends her days in bed, in the dark, without speaking to anyone. Greta is a beautiful little girl; everyone thinks she's a princess. But all she wants is a father who will hold her in his arms, who will come to see her play. Because she's never had a father. Otto and Greta can only become two teenagers filled with unanswered questions. Their destinies run on parallel tracks until the moment when, in a seemingly endless moment, they meet. Just a moment, but one that leaves its mark. But change takes courage. The courage to believe that, as in fairy tales, even in reality the impossible happens and two halves can merge into a whole.
