The Playroom
It's 1975. Do you know where your parents are?
Directed by Julia Dyer
A bittersweet 1970s family drama that contrasts children's imaginative escape with parental neglect and infidelity, exploring the gap between childhood wonder and adult disillusionment.
Four children in their attic hideaway make up a fantastic story, while downstairs their parents weave a drunken intrigue of their own.
