A lonely woman, yearning to be caressed, allows a man to transform her into a puppet. But when the man loses his interest, the puppet won’t let go. The Puppet Master is a fantasy drama with horror elements. It combines actors and puppets in a poetic story about longing for love, living in an objectifying relationship and clinging to another person.
