A man whose arms can kill others like puppets doesn’t realize he has become a puppet himself. In this short, hand-drawn silent animation, a wandering samurai discovers this truth the hard way. During his journey, the samurai finds a straw dummy beneath a tree, a sword stuck in its body. When he pulls the blade free, he learns it holds magical, devastating power. But this power has a cost-the more he uses it, the more it twists his mind. Now he must choose: hold onto who he is, or surrender his sanity for unmatched strength.
