Description
In a luxury apartment block, seven-year-old Dory finds refuge on the roof garden, a world both enchanting and confining. This is her only playground, a small piece of the sky that offers respite from the uncertainties that loom beyond its walls. Her innocence shrouds her from the darker realities surrounding her life, but fragile threads of trust soon begin to unravel.
As Dory navigates the intricacies of her confined existence, she discovers that the seemingly idyllic space holds secrets that threaten her safety. Relationships with the adults in her life become increasingly complex, as their intentions blur the lines between care and control. In her quest for understanding, Dory learns that the threats she faces are often masked by familiar faces.
Through her journey, Dory's resilience emerges as she confronts the menaces overshadowing her childhood. The roof garden becomes a poignant symbol of both her limitations and her strength, as she grapples with the challenges of growing up in a world that can be both beautiful and perilous.
