A very original short film with colorful, strange and surreal graphics.
The magic doors that allow the hero to teleport will make children dream.
A dreamlike universe and numerous messages whose meaning is hidden to be compared with surrealist pictorial works such as those of Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, or even René Magritte.
The surrealists, in search of new aesthetic universes, drew from their unconscious and their dreams the sources of a new imaginary and dreamlike world without particularly seeking to interpret them.
The film could be an opportunity to explore these dreamlike universes without necessarily trying to explain them. An initiation into daydreaming and creativity.
Imagine the rest of the story. What will be the next imaginary world?

Understand the story and themes, express your feelings and develop critical thinking.
1Who is the main character? A dog.

The chopsticks, sushi, edamame (Japanese soy beans) are the elements that allow you to understand that this is a Japanese restaurant. On a plane then again in the restaurant. A rocket in space then a Japanese train (we can see the text on the train. Shibuya station (one of the largest stations in Tokyo). Buildings, certainly in Tokyo, then the interior of an apartment.
