Synopsis: Simmons, best-known for her photographs of miniature rooms populated by dolls and of oversized objects—such as a house, birthday cake, and pistol—balanced on female legs, both human and fake, brings these characters to life in a three-act mini-musical. The film is inspired by three distinct periods of Simmons’s photographic work: vintage hand puppets, ventriloquist dummies and walking objects enact tales of ambition, disappointment, love, loss, and regret. Working with composer Michael Rohaytn (“Personal Velocity”) and cameraman Ed Lachman (“The Virgin Suicides” and “Far From Heaven”), Simmons’s puppets come to life in miniature domestic scenes that echo real life.
