What Strings Is About
Prince Hal sets out to avenge his father's death, not knowing his uncle is the real killer. What sets the film apart is not the story but the rule of its world: every character is a marionette and the strings are visible and part of that world. People are born by having strings attached, die when a string is cut, and the sky is the ceiling the strings hang from. The summaries never explain this, though it is where the film's whole value lies. The Turkish text's claim that it is the first feature-length puppet film is wrong; those go back much further.
