Can you leave the door open? (2023)

Ava is a child with a limitless imagination. She is a city kid who loves to play in her bedroom and letting herself get carried by her vivid dreams. Sometimes her dreamy fantasies find a way out of her porous bedroom walls and she finds herself riding on her mini motorcycle on infinite highway tunnels. Sometimes, reality finds its way back into her bedroom bringing her into dangerous situations. How thick can the child’s bedroom walls be? The films points at the boundaries and ambiguous limits of the child’s imaginary when facing violence.
