A ten-year-old girl has discovered her haven – the bathroom – as the ultimate solution to all her problems. She eats in the loo, plays in the loo and, if she could, she would sleep in there, too. Her journey through life, as she moves from one bathroom to another, remains calm and secure, but also somewhat lonely. The more she grows, the more confined her world seems to become. Eventually, she reaches the understanding that her loyal companion, the loo, falls short of meeting all her needs. As much as she loves her haven, she realises she cannot be in there for much longer. She learns to step out of her comfort zone, beyond the familiar confines of her loving loo, reach out and ask for help. (Berlinale)
