FILM INTRODUCTION

---

We have a need for certainty. So we presume that we know. That we control. That we’re in control.

---

But perhaps it’s our assumption that we’ll be here tomorrow that keeps us from our capacity to live.

---

And from our capacity to smile without reason.

I heard a line in a song a while back - ‘I’ve got sunshine in my stomach …‘ (peter gabriel, actually)

A year ago, whilst walking through the woods on the way to the train station, that line jumped out at me again. Perhaps from behind a tree : )

Took me by surprise.

I wondered whether you might? … have sunshine in your stomach, that is.

And then I wondered what if you did?

from Nic’s film ’smile’
