Ima is a little girl who passed away too soon. Desperate to talk to her grandmother, she decides to possess a young boy. But an old spirit is interfering with her plans. Diogo Baldaia is back at IFFR with a witty, irreverent comedy about the struggle between spirituality and religion. Inventive and playful, Why Are You Image Plus? is a jewel of irony and a precise satire of the almighty Catholic Church.
