Storyline

 On the edge of the Old Town, squeezed between renovated and well-groomed new houses, is the Grey House. Killer, Penguin, Doll Face and many others live in it. No one knows for sure if Killer ever killed someone, but Penguin undoubtedly talks to the birds, and Creep is an expert in punishing himself. Doll Face is not as stupid as others think. Every child has a nickname in the House. More things happen in just one day inside the House than most people living outside will experience during their whole lifetime. The House accepts every child that falls under its power, and children usually hate it from the bottom of their hearts. The House guards zillions of secrets. The banal ‘skeletons in the closet’ that outsiders see are only a small part of the closed Universe that exists within the House. It is a Universe where the usual laws of space and time do not apply.

The House is more than an ordinary Child Development Centre for Children that neither their parents nor society know how to deal with. The Grey House is a separate Universe in itself. ‘Killer, Penguin, Tom, Doll Face’ is a creative documentary combining animation and real live footage to tell the story of this Universe and the people who live inside it, at a time of crisis when the very existence of the Grey House itself is under threat.
