“A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE is the unique experience of immersing yourself in the life of a community of kids who spend a week's vacation together. Dynamo camp is the perfect place, here there is only the present, friendship and joy. The adventures of our young protagonists are marked by the days of the week and fears and bad memories are overcome through activities and group life. Here children look like giants, their young lives transmit only positivity and harmony. With this film I tried to tell the strength, courage and lust for life of a hundred "superheroes". This film is dedicated to all those who, passing through the Dynamo Camp in these fifteen years, have contributed to filling its walls and woods with pure magic. Every breath, every smile of an adult or a child here has been transformed into positive energy.”
