A drawing that became a dream. A dream that became reality. I think there is a tiny bit of a message hidden in a movie. It is a Unique Movie, unlike the movie House of Cards I enjoyed this a tiny bit more.

This was hugely distrubing to a ten year old boy when I watched it. Extremely odd little story but one that has stuck with me until now.

Critic Reviews
A mesmerizing English film exploring the dreamscapes of a lonely eleven-year old girl. Full Review
