PAPER HOUSE
POLISH TITLE: PAPIEROWY DOM
In a "paper house" there lives a girl who has never been loved by her family. Although she kept begging for a little affection, for her mother she was a burden, a dispensable element roaming around while adults were talking. The girl had to play by herself, perform the scenes of a loving family using dolls and escape to the world of imagination, which was her only chance of survival. This black and white animation reminds us that childhood is not always colourful showing at the same time the alienation and loneliness that unwanted children must cope with.
