Synopsis

Lola and Taro, two lonely children, live in the fairytale world of an abandoned attic, hidden from nameless danger. Despite her own needs, Lola looks after her small brother. One evening, when Taro begs her to play a game of hide-and-seek, the situation careens out of control. Lola takes out her biggest fear on Taro.

Merry-Go-Round exists in an internal universe in which the relationship between two children becomes the mirror of the world at large.
