Wooden Hearts

Onur Tukel (Dir), 82 minutes, USA, Western New York Premiere

Director/Writer/Producer/DP/Star Onur Tukel in attendance, Producer/Star Bonnie Stein, Star Vít Hořejš, and Composer Michael Montes in attendance.

A puppeteer travels from town to town, sharing Czech folk stories and bringing his hand-carved marionettes to life. He's not a young man anymore, and it’s not easy being the caretaker of so many ancient wooden things. But he has other things to worry about, like his son, who is terribly sad, for he too was once a performer, until the puppeteer cursed him with the worst fate of all - existence.
