Nicky, a seven‑year‑old boy, lives with older, mean‑spirited parents. The film explores violence in all its guises—from physical beatings, accidents and murders to the subtler harms of lies, social expectations and broken faith. Director Benning assembles images from movies, tabloids, children’s games, personal experiences and others, using small toys as props to illustrate how we are handled and controlled by larger violent forces.
