A 22‑minute stop‑motion short where a collection of plastic toys—Barbie dolls, dinosaurs, toy soldiers—embody the human life cycle from birth to old age. Through meticulously staged tableaux, the film satirizes sex, consumerism, war, and societal clichés, echoing nineteenth‑century critiques by Flaubert and Chekhov
