... inward. reflect on what the film suggests at first person and the questions we raised in our own life. Do not try to find definitive answers, we consider the resonances that leaves us.
... out. promote a symposium on the film as a family or group. This is not to reach conclusions. We share what we have heard and seen and try to listen and understand the different perception of others.
... not just the head, also with the heart. is leaving for a moment aside ideological prejudices or preconceived ideas so that the thread of what the film says, can discuss feelings.
