Gary's doctor is determined to cure him of his fear of doors but Gary does not want to leave the comfortable and beautiful world he's imagined for himself, he is happy where he is. Unfortunately his psychiatrist wont give up so easily.

This clever story was put together by a group of students from the Ecole Supérieure des Métiers Artistiques in Montpellier, France: Charlotte Boisson, Julien Fourvel, Pascal Han-Kwan, Tristan Reinarz and Fanny Roche.

The character's body language is superb with plenty of subtleties that makes them feel really there, they're very believable. Try watching it without sound (after you've seen it with sound, or you will spoil a fantastic finale!) and you'll see what I mean the words almost become unnecessary. It's really a joy to watch.

And here's an insightful 'making of' documentary of the film.
