Pinocchio (2013)

In the humble workshop of elderly toy maker Geppetto, a simple piece of pine-wood is meticulously transformed into a remarkable puppet named Pinocchio. To Geppetto's astonishment, this wooden figure springs to life, radiating chaos and wonder throughout the quiet village. Pinocchio, almost indistinguishable from a real boy, is armed with a voracious appetite for mischief and a tendency to treat the truth as a flexible concept. Every lie he weaves adds length to his ever-growing nose, a wooden testament to his mischievous deeds. Ignoring the quiet hum of the schoolhouse, Pinocchio's adventurous spirit leads him to stir the tears of the puppet theater director, Mangiafuoco, and embark on a whirlwind of escapades. Accompanied by a shrewd wood cricket, Pinocchio traverses a fairy tale wonderland brimming with both charm and peril. He crosses paths with a cunning vixen and a sly tomcat, experiences a bizarre transformation into a donkey, and even finds himself within the cavernous belly of a gargantuan fish. Despite his enthralling journey, there remains one dream that burns brighter in Pinocchio’s heart than any other: the desire to shed his wooden skin and become a real boy of flesh and blood. As he navigates the winding paths of his fantastical life, we are reminded that "Pinocchio" is a story of growing up that is eternally reinterpreted by each generation. The tale of the mischievous wooden figure with an embarrassingly long nose resonates with us all, reminding us of the extraordinary magic hidden in ordinary objects, and the transformative power of truth and dreams.
