About
An actress is emptying the house that belonged to her grandfather, and the things he left behind turn into puppets. Built from scraps and found objects, they carry the story into Jules Verne's extraordinary voyages. Under the adventure sits a gentle question about what happens to things once they stop being useful. A good fit for kids who like making things out of junk, or who know Verne's stories.
