In a world where houses grow legs, wings or sails, and travel at night, one morning a house disappears – leaving its child behind. A tender and poetic quest begins to rediscover what home truly means. Through delicate glove puppetry and gently animated images, Don’t Wait for Me... unfolds as a dreamlike journey about loss, hope and belonging. Objects breathe, drawings come alive and the visible meets the invisible with quiet sincerity. Deeply human and emotionally resonant, the piece speaks across generations – a cross-cultural work designed to travel beyond borders.
