Plot

Brimming with an unorthodox creativity, young Appoy struggles to navigate the rigid corridors of the formal education system. His inventive mind flourishes not in textbooks and tests, but through the expressive strokes of his art, where he garners recognition. As the system's unyielding walls close in, Appoy begins to lose sight of his unique self, gradually shoved into the shadows of societal underachievers. A turning point arrives when he starts to perform outside the system, embracing a wild, unconventional persona that unexpectedly draws attention. However, the system's powerful external pressure, coupled with his tangled emotions, traps him into perpetuating this wild character. Unbeknownst to him, he becomes a puppet, dancing on the strings of a decaying system. His journey is a poignant exploration of identity, conformity, and the struggle to retain individuality in a world that often rewards uniformity.
