He writes to escape. A small boy’s words will take him far away.

Elias lives in a village in the mountains near Olympia and is about to finish primary school. But nobody calls him by his real name; he’s mostly known as “The Flea”, the name of the handwritten newspaper he edits and publishes by himself. His fellow-villagers make fun of Elias and yet he dreams of travel. “The Flea” helps him escape his village’s boundaries and gives him the wings he needs to fly away.

SPECIAL INFORMATION
