Sinossi
Borgo Vecchio, Palermo: we are in the great universe of the Sicilian Puppet Theater, in the small theater-laboratory of the Mancuso family. Carmelo, the son of a master puppeteer, lives in this place full of fantasy and imagination. Trying to mimic the mature tone of his father’s voice, he plays with the lines he has heard so many times during the shows and brings puppets to life with innate skill. His eyes shine in that fairy-tale world, where rough pieces of wood take shape to tell, as in an eternal return, the chivalrous tales of love and war.
