Mirages of Stars

When life brings difficult situations, the main characters of this program’s films find support and hope in their faith in guiding stars. Social media, pseudoscience, and even modeling agencies promising happiness and success offer illusory comfort. These mirages become a salvation, or at least a symbol of it, for the heroes. With the program Mirages of Stars, we want to look at faith differently and ask what kind of beliefs, dreams, and myths help us survive.
