A grotesque love story. The two caricatural central characters, Harold and Matylda, are struggling to confront social ostracism and enter into a bungling endeavour to manipulate their obscene image for the better. The rough form of cut-out animation, inspired by the works of Roald Dahl, Lotte Reiniger and Edward Gorey, takes us into an unpredictable and eclectic world of dark imaginings and, finally, poses a question: Who, in fact, are the Creatures?

The Boys is a story of an evil that grows inside a person and about the human weakness as well as social solitude.
