Though the war has been over for five years, puppeteer and concentration-camp escapee Samuel Finkelbaum still refuses to leave his attic hideout. The solitary Finkelbaum finds companionship with his wooden puppets (including an effigy of his late wife), hiding from a world that betrayed him. As Finkelbaum's puppets tell his heartbreaking life story, the audience witnesses the "beauty of dismembered love" and the importance of belief in the face of slowly lost faith.
