Our four heros are between the ages of 11 and 14 and take us on a journey into their secret world and show the viewer what childhood means to them:

Wisdom, a boy with Cameroonian heritage, Joline, the girl who never wants to grow up, Elias, who lives on their own planet, and Roya, who came to Germany from Iran five years ago, are very different. Nevertheless, they have one thing in common in their everyday lives in Germany: they don’t quite fit into the framework of our society. They stand out, they cause trouble, and they often don’t feel like they belong. Adults have labels for this: migration background, autism, learning disabilities. 

Cabinets of Wonder does not label but looks beyond stigma and cliches. As part of a multi platform project consisting of a VR experience, a documentary and an educational project Cabinets of Wonder has won numerous prizes at international festivals.

The multi-platform project CABINETS OF WONDER consists of a documentary film, a VR experience and an educational concept for educators, teachers and parents. Both the film and VR stimulate empathy and let the viewers sink into the worlds of our heros in an entertaining and thoughtful way.
