Description

A humble carpenter discovers an ordinary log that seems to breathe, laugh, and plead for gentle hands. The sudden, tiny voice startles him, turning his workshop into a place of wonder and nervous curiosity. As he wrestles with the strange timber, the wood’s personality hints at a magical secret waiting to be uncovered.

His friend Geppetto, a craftsman with big dreams, decides to shape the enigmatic piece into a lively marionette. He imagines a wooden boy who can dance, fence, and tumble, hoping the creation will carry him on adventures far beyond the shop’s doors. The opening scenes weave humor and enchantment, inviting listeners to follow the birth of a character who soon learns what it means to be more than wood.
