Some of the most powerful stories are told not in hours of film, but seconds. Not with big words, but with tiny picture moments. This story by Troublemakers with agency, Animals, for SOS Villages d’Enfants is one of those stories. It’s the story of a neglected boy. Left alone and craving human contact, he relates to what he can hear through the walls – following the everyday instructions of neighbouring parents to their own children.

The global campaign, which launched to coincide with the international day of children’s rights, reminds people of SOS Villages d’Enfants’ mission to give children a real family life.

The film was directed by Fabien Ecochard. View his reel here.
