A dream logic animated on tracing paper, where objects vanish and certainty dissolves the moment you look away. The entire film moves at the speed of memory, which means watching it feels less like consuming art and more like recalling something you already forgot. If you need spectacle or narrative scaffolding, this isn't for you. What remains is pure unsettling atmosphere, drawn by hand, that lingers longer than anything louder.
The paper house is a very short psychological animation made with brush pen and colored pencil on tracing paper. Director Yuko Asano took the idea from a vivid dream: a dictionary with flip-book images printed in its page corners was pulled from a bookshelf, and once it was put back, the book was gone. The film grows out of that strange, dreamlike moment.
