A father and his daughter inhabit the worlds of childhood. He speaks to her with respect and seriousness, as if she were an adult, drawing her into magical universes brimming with life and humanity. He is the great filmmaker of childhood and is working on Pinocchio. One day, the little girl becomes a young woman and the enchantment disappears. She understands that the break with childhood is inevitable and feels that she will never measure up to her father again. So she starts lying to him and lets herself go, to the brink of disaster. The father will not pretend not to see. He will be there for her, for as long as it takes.
