Sawdust for Brains and the Key of Wisdom (1992)
A colourful yet sinister mix of painting, puppets, and real people. A puppet maker shrinks people, then sends them down a conveyer belt to be married and later used as figures on a wedding cake. Our minds, although not clock-work, are forced to live in manufactured time. If we can stop just for a moment , we will see the magical place outside of time.
