Laid-off old mannequins spend their cracked and broken lives in an old, abandoned warehouse. New mannequins are brought to the warehouse. They are old as well, but from a younger generation. The two groups must live together, but it's not easy at all.

Watching this high would be certainly interesting.

a weird little gem about a group of “retired” mannequins trying to exist after being tossed aside.

Amazing work of puppetry arts. The sound design is what really stands out here… Interesting very unsettling but simultaneously soothing.

Goes through some odd changes of tone which can make it feel slightly incoherent but there is definitely intention behind these choices.
