The "Carlo Colla & Figli Puppet Company" is one of the most ancient and famous puppet companies in the world. The Company's Atelier in Milan houses more than three thousand puppets. Each has a face, a body and specific characteristics, which makes it unique. "Diteggiatura" recounts, in a reverse chronology, a year spent in the Atelier of the Colla Company, following the rituals of a community called upon to accompany the life of anthropomorphic objects.  The film is based on a text, performed by actress and director Silvia Costa and written by an artificial neural network.
