"When my body dances, it speaks.
When my body dances, it is scary.
When my body dances, it moves in a way that everybody feel good." (Lotta Hegenscheidt)

The actor and dancer Chris Daftsios and the 7-year-old Lotta enter a dialogue with one another. The play around, make jokes and use their bodies to speak. Their interactions expose the fun, stress and self-understanding of the body to express itself.
