Do letters have a life of their own? In Worldomino, the languages of the world are represented by domino stones, each with a letter on it. And like domino stones, they all touch, and stand and fall together. As the camera zooms out, we see how they form a map of Europe – but some letters are missing. The game cannot go on that way. We see a hand adding other letters, some of them in different scripts, Arab, Japanese, Chinese. Then someone adds a stone with a question mark, and now finally we can play domino. Zooming out even further, we see the world map in full.
