Synopsis

This film is meant to inspire an interest in reading, especially for those who have difficulties. Words act out their meaning: scare is scary, fun is fun, sob cries, etc. It's an adventure story for the film's two main characters: a "stick" man and his dog; a journey into the world of words.
