Two sliding tubes of light, parallel in a dark room form the frame of a stage where two bodies appear and disappear, projecting mysterious images which bend and deform. Heads appear and bodies become mere forms, but they're together, friends in the struggle. Then they must fight a knight, learn to fly and visit a mythical sea creature. The magical journey ends in a miraculous salvation from the belly of an underwater monster.
«Hocus Pocus» starts in much the same way as «Vacuum» but it has an extremely engaging narrative. It is intended for the young and young at heart, especially those who like to watch and create their own stories and be inspired by the ambiance of compelling scenes.
