O que significa You can't do this story about somebody with losing their imagination, or crossing that threshold of when you are a child. ?
Does the sentence mean “When you are a child, you can’t play the role who is almost losing their imagination, nor the role who is becoming almost grown up”?
I think I’m confused with the meaning of “that threshold” and how “when you are a child” connects with.
Thank you.

Unfortunately the sentence is not worded quite right.
"You can't do this story about somebody [with] losing their imagination, or crossing that threshold [of] when you are a child."
If we take away [with] and [of] it is much better.
Then, I think your interpretation is what the writer intended.
Please let me know if this helps.

You did very well to get the sense of it. I had to read it several times, even without those odd words.

@Igirisujin Thank you for your kind words. Knowing that the sentence is a bit difficult for even native speakers is encouraging. :)
