Inspired by the Souillac Automata Museum, the film uses puppets and automata as human surrogates, combining original material with found-footage and archive stills. The idea of hypnosis occurs throughout, notably through the photographic records of its use on hysterics at the Salpetrierre Asylum in 19th century Paris.
