Fever
Nino, a spoiled child plunged into vigorous fever, is suddenly absorbed by a mysterious painting. His mother had warned him that the incantation that made him fall prisoner to the painting has unleashed. So, Nino does nothing but get lost in a maze of images that only will make him get far and far distant from the safety of his home, going through painting to classic cinema, to a drawing and then from to photography and then to the Polynesian paradise to the myth of the volcano. Will Nino be able to come back to his mother?
