HANDMADE

A godmother makes a handmade dress over a mannequin one night. Her artisanship breathes life to the lifeless next dawn. It sets out a magical journey into the surreal world by itself to explore the nature and its own being. Eventually the mannequin discovers the true purpose of its creator and the meaning of life.
