Three micro-anecdotes depicting the relationships between a man and a puppet: e.g. a little girl and her most favourite toy - King Kong, a shipwrecked person dying of hunger without knowing that his raft is the animator's snack. What the stories have in common is the sarcasm based on an anti-illusion approach.
