This is the story of Kikki, through her dolls. She lives in a high-rise, she has fun at school everyday, a doting grandfather, an adorable dog named Jimmy and parents who are well to do. All good so far. So what is Kikki’s story really? Everyday she comes home, it’s with fear – mortal fear which makes her want to cry, run away from there. But there is nobody to hear her cries. What makes Kikki hide under the bed everytime the doorbell rings?
This is the story of Kikki, a sexually abused little girl and also the story of probably hundreds of children everywhere else. We just never know. Everyday when she is alone at home, she is blindfolded and muffled and subjected to nameless horrors, but Kikki is unable to tell anyone. So she tells this story through her dolls.
