Reverie tells the story of a little girl who’s sitting bored in a car and waiting for her mother to finish shopping in a supermarket. The girl is looking through a car window. After a while she starts staring in an almost voyeuristic way at what’s happening at the parking place. She sees a friendly black boy of her age walking by. He looks back at her, and after a moment they spontaneously come together and go for a walk to the woods. The two children delve into a world situated between reality and fantasy, where they get to know each other better and fall in love. The kids are about to feel the thrill of their first kiss when the girl’s mother unexpectedly knocks on the car window — our little heroine’s romantic adventure is suddenly interrupted. She’s back to everyday reality (along with the viewer, who perhaps hadn’t even suspected the children’s innocent play of merely being a beautiful daydream).
