A locked-down year becomes an accidental window into something real. You watch someone document a 15cm creature in their garden the way you'd document your own small miracle, patient and unrushed, and the animation moves like it has nowhere else to be. This is what happens when a filmmaker stops and actually looks at what's in front of them.

During a year when the world shutters and stays still, a solitary person stops commuting to the city and stays home, where they begin noticing strange traces in their garden. A camera set up to investigate captures something remarkable: a tiny humanlike being about fifteen centimeters tall. The discovery becomes consuming. The narrator names it Pukkulapottas and follows its activities day after day. But as spring gives way to summer and people start moving about again, Pukkulapottas can no longer be seen. The experience leaves the narrator wondering whether everything true in the world is limited to what our eyes can see.
