“Wish I never grew up”, we often tell ourselves, while caught in the everyday commotion of adulthood, responsibilities, and real-life consequences of our actions. What if putting on a Virtual Reality headset allowed you to do just that, to go back to a period of pure imagination? In “Lily’s Day”, audiences re-live the magical experience of visiting a toy shop and getting mesmerized. With her family going through a rough patch, Lily must consider the impacts of her decisions as she faces the bittersweetness of responsibilities. Throughout the film, her agency comes at an intersection with that of adult viewers, exploring children’s naive yet intelligent outlook on life.
