What would happen if life weren’t life? What if it were a dream? What would happen if we found out that we were characters in the story of other writers? For Maria, a little girl who lives on a rise in Portugal with her brother, there could be infinite options. Maria and her brother have different opinions on what happiness or philosophy are; whether summer is beautiful or not; on the meaning of sleeping – but they are united when it comes to daydreaming. That Tiny Place Where Light Comes In takes us to the intersection of different paths, a magical place between past and future, imagination and reality, memory and fiction, and finds the solution to all differences in the dream, opening infinite possibilities for the two young characters. And for cinema too, probably.
