About the film
Lorenzo walks through his school absorbed in his phone, like many of the children around him. In a black-and-white world, imaginary screens replace books, games, and human connection, while real statistics warn about early social media use and its consequences. When his phone suddenly goes dark and time seems to rewind, a second chance emerges. As he finally looks up, color returns and the school regains its essence: shared reading, music, play, nature, and real bonds. "Through their eyes" is a call to protect childhood and a reminder that the world, seen through a child’s eyes, needs no filters.
