A ventriloquist sets off on a road trip with a suitcase of puppets left behind by a late mentor, heading toward a gathering of fellow performers and a final resting place for dummies. Along the way, the journey blends humor and grief as the puppets become a way to sort through loss, identity, and what comes next.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an offbeat, intimate travelogue that mixes comedy with real emotion and self-reflection, in the vein of Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond; Not for you if you want straightforward stand-up or constant laughs.
Pros: funny and poignant mix; unusual docu-style journey; memorable puppet interactions | Cons: very short runtime; tone can feel uncomfortable; not enough puppet variety
