Happy Dox

In an outdoor nursery based in the woods, children create their own individually constructed worlds and can test out the boundaries of reality. The environment allows them to explore everything through their own experience and imagination which also brings to foreground the arising of the personal and collective conditioning as well as the already existent personalities of each child. The woods become the place where the normal rules and regulations of society come to a halt and where the children transform the surroundings with their play into magic. Following the emergence of spring, the documentary focuses on three characters and their emotional and physical journey in the woods. The beauty and the challenges of growing up become visible in the way they perceive their environment and interact with each other.
