If I Only Were A Spider

In an Arcadian setting, hidden amid calcic rocks, lies a village school – the smallest one in the European Union, boasting a total of five children. Its students have a very realistic worldview and shape their dreams accordingly. They are more like adults than children. Only the five-year-old Christian allows himself to be swept away by imagination, entangled in a spider web of his fantasies. Will the world accept this fragile superhero? In this small student community certain social mechanisms become more visible than in big educational institutions. If I Only Were A Spider is a film about the norm rejecting that what is different, and about the differences fighting to stay different.
