Toto the Hero

A whimsical yet melancholic meditation on memory, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves, blending childhood wonder with the regrets of old age.

80-year-old Thomas recounts his childhood and middle age through a series of flashbacks and dream sequences. Thomas believes he’s been taken away from a better life at birth; following a hospital fire, he vividly recalls being swapped with another new-born, and subsequently grows up in a poorer neighbouring household.
