Synopsis
A devoted father working in the film industry shares a deep bond with his young daughter. Together, they discover the magical world of childhood through the daughter’s eyes and the Pinocchio set he’s currently working on, where chaos meets fantasy. The child becomes a daughter, and the enchantment of limbo between father and daughter vanishes. She realizes that her childhood is slipping away, giving way to adolescence. The young girl starts taking drugs while hiding the truth from her father. Refusing to ignore the situation, the father confronts his daughter and decides to take her to Paris in a last-ditch attempt to save their bond and bring her back to herself.
