This is one unique fantasy film unlike any

This is one unique fantasy film unlike any other & concerns an ill pre-adolescent girl who while recovering from an ill defined physiological condition begins making drawings of a house, eventually visiting it in her dreams & adding features as she continues exploring it inside as well. In the house she meets young boy who does not at first seem to be able to leave it. In her waking state she hears about a seriously ill boy & develops a psychological connection with him although neither having met each other. Through her dreams she learns the boys name which is the same as the dying boy in her waking state. All this is developed in beautifully touching & moving manner with some wonderful music from the Faure Requiem added where appropriate. Charlotte Burke as the young girl & Elliot Spears as the boy develop a unique chemistry & in Burke's case this turned out to be her only film & she since has chosen to pursue a different career entirely. Apparently PAPERHOUSE has later become a cult film & shortly after it came out a colleague recommended it to me otherwise I may have missed it entirely since it, despite some fine reviews, was not, at first, seen by many. The film has my highest recommendation & after more than 30 years remains a memorable viewing experience.
