Damaged Goods
Synopsis
On the cluttered floor of a bric-a-brac shop a poor, down-at-heel boy looks up to the top shelf to see a beautiful girl in tears amongst the crystal and silver. Played out by ceramic figurines and accompanied by an original composed score, the story follows the boy's attempt to rescue the girl – and the tragedy that inevitably occurs when high culture falls for low.
