Feos is a visual feast of Bunraku-style puppetry incorporating stop motion projections. This intimate portrayal of two strangers who meet by chance at a movie theater,examines our perception of beauty, and explores the idea of what it means to be loved. It challenges audiences to look at their own faults with honesty and acceptance.
