In order to have a wide spectrum of ispiration Lorenzo asked those children three things that they had missed the most during the first lockdown while they were confined in their rooms. Once he got their answers he decided to mix them by creating imaginative and fantastic character like those of a list of imaginary beings. The perpouse was to create a new way of talking about isolation as a chance of exploring the deepest and more poetic parts of this group of kids.
