PLOT:
 “I can’t remember what I was first, a money box or a giraffe. People keep feeding me coins that I never seem to be able to digest. My nights are full of dreams. Sometimes I become a cuddly toy and someone puts their arms around me. Sometimes I’m in the forest, running in the midst of high treetops.”
The giraffe and the money box changes hands and become alive in the minds of its different owners. Without it, a little boy would lose its only friend and, later on, a lover of the sky would never reach so high. Blending the animate with the inanimate, the story explores the life which exists in every object that carries emotions and sentiments. Movement, music and light combine in a visual and poetic piece where humans, puppets and objects interact and explore their relationship with each other.
