Stephen & David's Toy Cupboard
A world renowned figure maker honors his late brother, Stephen, whose unrecognised talent and tragic loss profoundly shaped his own artistic path. As he creates a tribute figure of Stephen, the film explores their deep bond, the impact of creativity, and how art can preserve the memory of those we’ve lost.
