The Dollhouse is a quiet and magical little story that takes place on Christmas Day, the only day of the year that its characters have the opportunity to be the masters and mistresses of their own lives.
This is a sweetly told fantasy with a message that shows how easily discrimination manipulates, and how well our children are taught to see love as right and wrong rather than seeing it for the miracle it can be when two people who are meant to be together find each other, regardless of what others dictate love should be.
The subtle twist at the end, the message that love is a power unto itself that will endure the test of time and prejudice is delivered in a way that truly is beautiful in its simplicity, but also profound in its significance.
