In a cluster of houses outside town, in the shadow of an old chimney, there live several light-haired girls. This light portrait of a unique children's microcosm consists of scenes from daily life, in which most of the time is spent exploring one's surroundings, playing, and asking curious questions on various subjects. With her extreme sense for detail, the director convincingly captures the poetry of the everyday. The result is a fresh and humorous look at a world surrounded by vegetation, wrecked cars, and puddles that is ruled by spontaneity, playfulness and the immediacy of children's logic.

The Chimney is a cute portrait of the life of country kids and what they do in their free time. We observe them goofing
around in non-contiguous still images without music, from which they run out and return to as if these hyperactive little
creatures were just a break from postcards of rural still-lifes. Interesting camera stylization. Adults appear only rarely, so
they do not interfere with the playful simplicity of the children’s world blending harmoniously with the sound of the
wind in the garden or the rain outside the window. A film that doesn’t really say much about anything, but has a very
unique and pleasant poetic tone.
