In 1991, Flavio Cabobianco published his book “I Come From The Sun”. He was 10 years old and defined himself as a messenger from other planets. The book became a bestseller in Argentina and was translated into six languages, launching a media boom that turned Flavio into a New Age phenomenon. Twenty years later, Flavio decides to republish his book and agrees to be part of a documentary about his story. After a year’s shooting, Flavio, unhappy with the preestablished roles of the movie, comes up with the idea of switching roles between himself and the director.

They all respond to two basic questions: why do they make movies and why do they serve the seventh art. The filmmakers share their thoughts about time, narrative, rhythm, light, movement, the meaning of tragedy, the audience‘s desires and the boundaries with other forms of art.
