What is Puppet about?

Silvester is an old puppet master whose puppets have disappeared, leaving him lonely and unsure what to do next. Then he creates Puppet, a remarkable figure who can speak, walk and see the world with wonder. As Silvester introduces him to the town, the playground and everyday joys, Puppet helps his maker find friendship and purpose. Together, they discover that imagination can bring people closer, and that stories, skills and creativity are meant to be shared with a new generation.
