湖北武汉一家全托制寄宿幼儿园，后事一群天真无邪的可爱孩子在镜头前展现他们最真实的一面。他们会为了对父母的依恋而大声哭闹、后事会为了和小朋友偶然的争执大打出手、会为了穿不上衣服以及摆不好椅子而脾气大发、也会为了星期四和星期五的先后顺序讨论不休。孩子的心中没有对错，就如同一张等待书写的白纸却又不可避免地被强加了许多来自大人的既定价值观。孩子无所顾忌的言语，似乎也折射出一些不难捉摸的意味……本片2001年5月开始筹拍，经过3、4个月观察和准备于当年9月正式拍摄，历时14个月前期拍摄工作结束，于2004年3月正式完成后期制作，影片荣获第十届上海国际电视节最佳人文纪录片创意奖、2004年广州国际纪录片大会纪录片大奖。
回复 :What could the fate of the Villa Empain, Baron Empain’s crazy project in Brussels, which has gone through a long and eventful journey since its completion in 1934, possibly inspire? Katharina Kastner’s challenge was to draw the portrait of the place, keeping in mind the work of time, like in a human existence. Shot in 16mm, her film appeals to the senses, it captures the stirring of leaves undulating in the garden light, the movement of iridescent pearls, or the colourful games of a piece by Daniel Buren. Without a word, but with a caressing camera, she pays close attention to the hidden patterns on the gorgeous marbles, or to the veins in the most precious types of wood used to decorate the rooms. In slight touches, regardless of the monumental aspect of the 27.000 square-feet villa and the pool that so impressed its first visitors, Katharina Kastner o ers an organic vision of the place, which has been marked by the trials and tribulations of life, and used successively as a museum, an embassy and a squat, until its final renovation. The clever editing makes furtive connections, underlines colour associations, mixes up times and tactile sensations, while the spaces we explore keep rustling. The film takes us on a reminiscing journey, with slices of Empain’s life, from the family archive here on a holiday, there playing on the beach, images from a distant past that keep haunting the premises. The film reveals to us this living space that was designed like a piece of art, but it does so in a wandering way. This dream vision guides us through the villa like an echo of foregone fantasies, a mental space, but also a welcoming backdrop for the work of time. A bit like the fingerprint work we see in the film, or the slight touch of a pencil on a blank sheet.
