Program Note
On the verge of high school graduation, the protagonist, obsessed with action figures, completely forgets his promise to his girlfriend. He ends up having his soul stolen by a misdelivered hand puppet. This short humorously explores the culture of so-called ‘kidults’ and portrays the protagonist's comedic sacrifices as he matures into a true adult. Following his previous work, Good Boy (2022), director Eros V seems to be carving out his unique genre. (Kristin JI)
