Overview

Execution

The film presents a ventriloquist’s doll life narrative. Throughout the story, we hear the voice of the doll on voiceover while he is on a couch with his psychologist. The doll confides that its owner began to have strange behaviors lately and began to use him not only in his shows, but also throughout his daily life. As if the doll had taken over the life of the ventriloquist.

Finally, the film returns to the psychologist's room with the doll ending the appointment and hopelessly asking for help. At this moment, he then goes to a drawer on his desk and pick up the HALITUS mouthwash. He looks at the product wisely and delivers it to the ventriloquist, revealing that the patient's major problem was not having the courage to open his mouth in public because of bad breath.
