1.Tell us about your movie, where did the idea of this movie come from?

The inspiration for Mimine came from my personal experience as a father. I realized that even if we do our best to be a great parent, we are all imperfect.  The idea came also from the story of Larry Walter who accidentally flew in the air with his homemade installation made of balloons.
