The Space Between Houses
Eabout 1 hr 15 minchildren's fictionfamily1 endings
Ten-year-old Owen lives mostly with Mom and visits Dad at a new apartment forty-five minutes away. While both parents concentrate on rebuilding their separate lives, Owen quietly carries missed promises, adult messages, and a frightening suspicion that the divorce was somehow his fault. In a vivid dream world between two distant houses, a lantern-bearing Fox and a nest-building Bird help Owen find the words to tell the truth: a child can love two parents, live in two homes, and still remain entirely whole.
The shortest way through is about 1 hr 14 min; the longest, about 1 hr 15 min.
