I have a pocketdoor in our bedroom which is very drafty. Is it possible to fix without taking the wall apart? Any recommendations, thanks in advance. Dutch

If there is access to the space above and below the location of the door, caulking all the joints will help limit air movement. If on the other hand the cool breeze is coming from the side you could seal an entire stud bay with a liquid expanding foam kit poured in from a relatively small hole.

Might be hokey, but instal draft-strip down each side of the door, att'd to the jamb.
But you'll be better finding where the air gets in.
All the best...
To those who know - this may be obvious. To those who don't - I hope I've helped.
