YesAsia Editorial Description
Strings tells the tale of a king, filled with guilt and remorse after a lifetime of war and bloody conflict. Knowing that his son, Hal, is more peaceful and compassionate, the king resolves to kill himself, hoping that Hal will bring peace to their kingdom once and for all. The king's brother, however, wants nothing of the sort. He is greedy and hungry for power, so when he is the first to discover the body of the king, he disguises the suicide as a murder, inspiring young Hal to declare war on the rival kingdom.
Drawing upon everything from The Lord Of The Rings, to The Dark Crystal and even Hamlet, Strings is both a very traditional tale of honor and revenge, but also a highly imaginative and self-referential piece. The characters acknowledge their strings, identifying them as their lifeforce with almost religious sanctity. They look to the heavens and contemplate who, quite literally, is pulling their strings. and when a character is killed, it is by having their head-string severed.
It is this intelligence, with which the whole film is handled, that makes Strings so unique and enjoyable. The wooden puppets are beautifully carved and move with the dignified elegance of seasoned Shakespearian thesps. The sets have been created with equal imagination and are shot and lit so dramatically that it easy for the viewer to forget they are watching models and to lose themselves completely in this fantasy world.

"Beautiful and haunting...This astonishing fight of imagination is most definitely for adult fantasy fans well as older children." - Lynne Heffley, L.A. Times
"A classic quest and coming-of-age tale...Surpisingly savvy and clever in the points it makes...It really isn't like anything you've seen before." - Future Movies, UK
The Emperor of Hebalon dies a dramatic death, taking a terrible legacy with him to the grave, martial law is declared, and the heavy gates in the city of Hebalon are locked firm. No outsider can gain entrance.
The young and untried Emperor, Hal Tara, is now charged with avenging his father's death. Disguised as a common slave, he leaves the protective confines of the palace, and armed with his father's sword, fares forth to seek out the implacable Zeriths, Hal's and Hebalon's archenemy. A warrior is about to come of age.
But Hal is unaware that his kingdom is threatened from within, where traitorous and malevolent elements are planning to overthrow him; nor is he aware that he has abandoned his court and his beloved sister to a cruel and perilous fate behind the city's iron-clad gates.
As the fear young Hal feels within him grows, so does his hatred of the Zeriths. Back home in the palace, Hal's sister and Erito's wife have seen through the traitors' stratagems and realize that their beloved husbands are riding into a trap.
Hal manages to gain access to the Zerith camp, but he is no longer so sure who is friend, and who is foe. As Hal gradually starts to come of age as a warrior, he falls deeply and passionately in love - a love which proves to be as blind and unreasoning as hatred itself.. It will take a moment of revelation before he is finally able to distinguish between his true friends and his true enemies.
