English: Jacob Eiseman | Rachel Lepore
Matthias was born in Prague to a wealthy family, his father came from an old family that had failed, but had inherited a marvelous art of puppetry that brought them a decent income, and his mother was the daughter of a spinning mill owner. The family of three lives a slightly dull but happy life. His father is transformed into a performing artist, and the sociable mother becomes a socialite. Matthias, an introvert by nature, is a bit of a misfit in the family.
"If only you could be like Louis." His parents always said that.
"Louis" is a puppet created based on Matthias, a sweet and lovable young boy, and modeled by his father after he arrived in Paris. “Louis”, who could perform without strings and speak without voice-overs, was a lively, cheerful and talkative puppeteer for his father's puppet shows.
Day after day, year after year, Matthias, who had become more and more withdrawn in the family social scene, was gradually replaced by "Louis".
Even his only chance to communicate with his father, learning puppetry, is only to perform with "Louie" when his father needs a break.
