None of us is immune to the power of imagination. We all fell for stories: those told by our parents when we fell asleep, those told by our teachers which inspired us, those stories of success that made us finish this or that course and choose life vocation. We are puppets in someone's plot, a part of the bigger whole. Stories also help us, make us believe in a better future, better times, and better political systems. They restore our belief in humanity and faith that good will ultimately defeat the evil. They help overcome traumas. Sometimes the gift of imagination makes daily life bearable and allows to pick up the pieces. An extraordinary and real story of survival and psychological struggle, and a gift of a story-telling closed in beautiful-girls-filled, Nazi-occupied and reality-inspired little imaginary Belgian town. Welcome to Marwen.
