SYNOPSIS

Pictures escape from a dream. A curious forest made out of neurons where the young director wanders every night; a dream that brings together brain and cinema, memories and scientific experiments. She tries to understand the link which is being woven between Neuroscience and films. A poetic journey at the heart of the Mirror System, the mechanism by which we feel or not empathy for other, whether in the real world or on the screen.
