Synopsis
In this poignant and humorous look at childhood, a young child with a number for a face winds up their own head and carries it under their arm—a representation of their identity. They have fish for eyes, lie down to bump their identity with their forehead, and are silent because a zipper seals their lips shut. When unzipped, another zipper lies beneath. This story examines the distinct world and way of thinking of children, blending elements of sadness and wit.
