Thirteen years after the premiere of 7 OR WHY I EXIST, we meet them again: the seven children from all over the world. How did they find their way into becoming adults?

The film shows their philosophical context regarding the life and future of a generation between 20 and 30. As children, they impressed and inspired us with their curiosity about "difficult" questions. As young adults, they allow us to share in their feelings and thoughts. They give us the opportunity to watch them reflecting and "in the process of the gradual production of thoughts while speaking" (Heinrich von Kleist).

That's the charm. Then as now.
