For more than a decade, eccentric filmmaker Johannes Nyholm has worked on films featuring a little clay figure he calls "Puppetboy". Many hours of animation have been completed, yet very little has been made available to the public. Following Nyholm behind the scenes we discover a very intimate relationship between him and his protagonist.
