About
A child alone in their bedroom plays out a whole world inside a big dollhouse, with a kitchen, a garage, a cellar and stairs. A small puppet wanders from room to room, getting up, showering, eating cereal, while objects and characters keep changing size. Theater, puppetry, video and sound blend with no spoken words, so kids follow it through the pictures. A good fit for preschoolers drawn to small worlds.
