Plot

Late afternoon, a cheerful group of friends are out walking. They entred a street that Bert couldn't remember having seen before. It looked like an ordinary street, but lacked any sign of humans or human activity, except for a strange looking picture man. For fun, Richie wanted that the picture man to take pictures of them.

Slowly they realize that this man does not take regular pictures. But portray them as they will look in 10, 20 or 5 years, according to their wishes.
