Children living with medical conditions spend much of their time navigating a routine of appointments, treatments, and long hospital stays. Phil, Ida and Emily share this fate. Through drawing, they preserve access to a magical, imaginative world. The film makes these universes accessible to us adults as well through animation.

With Emily Schulz, Ida Marquardt, Phil Sommer
