Paperhouse is a dark fantasy film about 11-year-old Anna, who discovers that her drawings manifest in her dreams. Confined to bed by illness, she sketches a house that becomes the setting for her dream world, where she meets a lonely, disabled boy named Marc, who also exists in reality. As Anna’s drawings grow more detailed, the dream world turns increasingly menacing, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination in a haunting tale of creativity and connection.
