Alle schone dingen

Every Brilliant Thing is the story of a boy who, in an effort to restore hope to his depressed and suicidal mother, begins compiling a list of all the beautiful things that make life worth living.

Small, light-hearted things that serve as a counterbalance to what has become too heavy: dame blanche, kung fu films, staying up late and being allowed to watch TV, the colour yellow.

Despite the heavy theme, Every Brilliant Thing is first and foremost a witty, moving, and comforting tale, set in an intimate setting. An actor, a few props, and a couple of lovely jazz tunes — nothing else.
