These three children - Manny, Joel and Jonan - began their troubled childhood in this volatile family, where children seem to be defending themselves. During their shabby childhood, the three children feel they need to escape because their children are torn apart in that family. But there was no solution except that Jonah was trying to escape from a painful reality to another imaginary world away.
Zagar builds a world that is simultaneously deeply authentic and dreamlike - the perfect combination to express a child's deeply felt but inherently distorted view of the universe he inhabits.
