SYNOPSIS

Nemo is seven. Sometimes, he has premonitory dreams, but he doesn’t know if he should believe them. Life has an infinite gamut of possibilities for Nemo. Three little girls live in his street: Anna, Elisa and Jeanne. Which one to choose? Until he decides, everything is still possible. As his parents separate on a station platform, Nemo has to make a choice- an impossible choice which leaves Nemo’s life split into 2. The little boy finds himself propelled into a multiplicity of possible futures, in a chaotic universe where nothing happens by chance yet nothing is foreseeable. A world where the future is as unpredictable as the pattern of the curl of smoke made by a cigarette, a world in which the beating of a butterfly’s wings in Japan can trigger storms on the far side of the world.
