9-year-old Cologio observes the world of “wise guys”.

In the theatre, a man on the run suddenly appears. Who is chasing him? Is he really under threat? He could turn back, get back to his normal life. There is still time. Just a matter of finding an excuse: a moment of panic, a mix-up, a chance encounter… Or alternatively casting off forever.

Heavy metal was born thanks to Led Zep, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.
