STORYLINE
After his father's death, Nathan takes over his family's antique store. Completely immersed in his own lonely world, he decides to build a puppet, hoping it'll keep him company.
Lisa works as a seamstress and frequents the antique store. She has always been interested in Nathan but she has never been able to talk with him. To get his attention, she starts leaving pins behind in the store.
Nathan decides to build his own friend: a small tin man. He uses a book his father wrote called "100 Things to Recycle and Make”. Using the book’s instructions, he creates his new friend. Lisa realises what Nathan's doing and decides to make
some clothes for Nathan's new metallic friend.
Nathan finally finishes the tin man but quickly realises it's not providing much solace. At that moment Lisa enters the shop and gives him the clothes. She also gives him the same kind of pin she's been leaving in his shop every day. Nathan
has an emotional epiphany and realises for the first time that Lisa has been frequenting the shop and sending him signals. They finally talk.
