Of Cardboard is a heartwarming Spanish film that tells the story of two brothers, Nicolás and Manuel, who are completely different from one another. Nicolás is an introverted young man, who is creative and has a big heart. On the other hand, Manuel is nothing like his brother; he is a bully, always looking for trouble, and likes to make fun of Nicolás.

The story follows Nicolás, who is very interested in the art of puppetry. He spends most of his days creating puppets from cardboard and then using them to put on shows for children at the park. Manuel, his brother, always makes fun of him for it, calling him a loser and saying that nobody cares about puppetry anymore.

One day, Manuel comes home with some bad news. Their mother is sick and needs an operation that they cannot afford. In an attempt to help their mother, Nicolás comes up with a plan to create a puppet show and sell tickets to it. Nicolás believes that if they can sell enough tickets, they can raise the money needed for their mother's operation.

The rest of the movie follows the brothers as they work together to create the best puppet show possible. As they put the finishing touches on their show, they meet some interesting characters who help guide them to success. One of these characters is a successful puppeteer who teaches Nicolás everything he knows about puppetry. As they grow closer, the puppeteer tells Nicolás about how he once had his own puppet theatre that he closed down because he lost his passion for it. However, seeing Nicolás and Manuel's determination and passion, the puppeteer comes out of retirement to help them prepare for their show.

As they rehearse and work on their show, Nicolás's skills as a puppeteer develop, and he creates puppets that become more and more elaborate. Meanwhile, Manuel starts to understand the importance and beauty of puppetry, and he helps his brother create the scenery and props for the show.

The movie reaches its climax during the puppet show, where the brothers put on an incredible performance that leaves the audience in stitches. The puppetry is stunning, the humor is on point, and the message of the show is powerful.

Throughout the movie, the theme of family and the importance of supporting one another is a predominant aspect. It shows the strength of a family bond and how it can overcome any obstacle. Additionally, 'Of Cardboard' also highlights the significance of following one's passion, regardless of the judgment of others.

The movie has some very poignant moments, and it is beautifully shot, with great use of colors, sets, and lighting. The performances from the cast are superb, particularly Nicolás and Manuel, who have remarkable chemistry that helps to elevate the story.

In conclusion, 'Of Cardboard' is a movie that is both entertaining and heartfelt, telling a story of brotherhood, family, and passion, and all the while reminding us of the power the small things have in creating an impactful and unforgettable experience.
