Sinopsis

Playtime’s Over is a celebration of the incredible imagination we find in the mind of children, which unfortunately fades away as they grow up. In the film we meet a boy who gets teased for being childish as he plays vividly in his own fantasy world. He has to choose whether he should keep doing what he loves and risk losing his friends or put his imaginative world behind him and “grow up”.
