The story of “The Little Sweep” has been translated into modern times, on the roof of an industrial styled home. Immersed in a gray and dirty atmosphere.

The Kids, protagonists of the story, have built a playground on the roof of their house, the characteristic elements of the roof take on new meanings: a wall becomes a slide. The clothesline become a curtain created for the scene of the Sem’s bath.

The high-voltage cabin is a storage room for toys. The satellite dish will become a beautiful full moon.
