Dollhouse

A voice, a room, a girl shortly before her 16th birthday. A pile of discarded dolls. Then voice messages from outside, the shrill laughs of a sitcom, the vacation posts of an avatar and the girl's attempt to be her, to become someone else, to disguise herself, to change. We enter a fluffy world where anything is possible. In which dolls come to life and the neighbor becomes a doll. In which flesh wants to become plastic and objects begin to speak. Dollhouse tells of the empowering power of cuteness and play. We become part of a search for belonging and identity, beyond normative (family) structures. "The light alarm clock simulates the first sunrise, flight mode off, first messages arrive" - the story begins.
