The Flights
The Dragonflies’ Odyssey in motion — where each dragonfly’s story finds its voice. The Flights, the films of the stories, gather here as each one takes wing.

The First Flight
A dragonfly chose to rest, for a single breath, on the crest of a metal rooster. The one who pressed the shutter did not know he was photographing a birth. From this image — a gift, not a composition — the whole Sanctuary was born. It is the first story told by Wonder: a story about gratitude, about those who do not come to stay, but to awaken.
There is an old Japanese art called kintsugi. When a bowl breaks, the cracks are repaired with gold. The purpose is not to pretend the bowl never broke. The purpose is to honour the journey that made it more beautiful. L’Éveilleur (the Awakener) is one of those golden lines in my life. He is not the whole bowl. Nor is he a broken piece to be put back. He is part of the pattern that allowed the bowl to become what it is today.

Calendario — A ognuno il suo tempo
Calendario is a bronze-winged dragonfly who teaches Lumen that time is not a road to conquer, but a garden in which every transformation has its season. Through their encounter, Lumen discovers that being slower does not mean losing — A ognuno il suo tempo.
“Do not ask whether your hour has come. Become... the person your hour has been waiting for.” — Calendario

Dragonfly — The Seventh Track
An image album composed before the film was complete — music written to evoke the atmosphere of a world not yet born. On the black record that turns like dark water, crossed by the lantern's golden circles, the seventh track bears a name: Dragonfly. Here, Dragonfly ceases to understand herself as a brief track between two silences. She discovers that silence is not absence, but the listening space in which an unfinished world may begin.
“Can music remember a world that does not yet exist — or does it make room for that world to arrive?”
