Am I good enough? Do I matter? Do I add anything to this world? All questions we are confronted with on a daily basis. People are always so busy worrying about their place in the world that they never wonder about what life can give them. Synthesis takes you into the world of Walter Gardner, an old painter who loses himself in the unending process of his next masterpiece. Only when he accepts his hopeless situation, can he look at the world through new eyes.

This project is freely accessible on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during the opening hours of the library.

This program screened as part of Kaboom Animation Festival 2022
