“Conversations On Serious Topics” is a film that eschews external action, props, scenery, and special effects. The focus is on children and teenagers who possess a unique talent for articulating their perceptions of the world around them. Through personal dialogues with these young individuals, the film paints a portrait of contemporary life that is by turns melancholic, humorous, and dramatic. Filmed with a minimalist approach, it explores themes of isolation, affection, divinity, the universe, and interpersonal connections. Phrases like “The world is people” and “Don’t you believe in God? I can teach you how to start believing…” encapsulate its introspective nature.
