SYNOPSIS

Indra is an artist searching for a flat in which she can raise her first child. It seems that she has found just the place - a dream come true lot in the very centre of the city. She is heading to a private viewing of her possible future home.

The visit brings up her fears and doubts on what is yet to be. Even though on the first glimpse this place seems to embody her ideal home, Indra soon realises that her life is changing - it is turning into an endless stream of compromises and adaptations that will just not fit in the mansard with a rooftop view.

INTENTION

For several years my husband and I have been looking for a flat to settle into. We had to define our perfect home and during this process we found out that our desires do not match our actual needs as a family with kids. I had to give up on my private space from the very first moment of my pregnancy. When the baby was born we thought that a bigger flat would ease our frustrations, but the real struggle actually was with our ego.

With this film I want to talk about letting go and acceptance of the current state. The main character is desperately trying to “fit” herself in her dream home, and refuses to accept the inevitable reality that her life and her reality is not compatible with this cozy bohemian hideout. In this film the flat and everything that will happen within it is a symbol of the main character’s mental process of giving up on her freedom and independence. Just like parenthood, this film is going to be full of love and dark humour.

The story will be told using all the possible means and layers given by the puppet animation technique: the script, the sound and visual storytelling, talking through details and symbols hidden in the forms and shapes of the puppet film set.
