I had that idea to make a movie for christmas using ‘I’m dreaming of a white christmas’. I found it an original contrast. But going to the first shopping centre taking fotos I had to hear the whole Louis Armstrong CD … I wanted to find something more original. In the next Shopping centre they were playing all these christmas songs in a Brazilian (Samba) way. And again ‘I’m dreaming of a white christmas’.

So I wish you all a merry christmas may it be white or colourful.
