Just as layers of papier-mâché strengthen the fragile form, so working on films and oneself shapes the director. The film is dedicated to the attentive teacher and outstanding puppeteer Oleh Pedan who passed away in 2020. His voice was secretly recorded by the director during their last meeting. This very record formed the basis of the film.
