Manel, a spoiled kid, received a miserable toothpick box for his birthday instead of his expected PS4. However, this apparently stupid present will ends up in the best present he has ever received. This is the story of Manel, a young adolescent who leads the world at PlayStation. Through the eyes of the baby boy the scenario is well presented and we can see how the human species slowly becomes an instrument.<br/><br/>In this story, young Manel has his heart set on getting a PlayStation for his birthday. When Manel doesn't get his PlayStation and receives a box of toothpicks instead, he becomes violent. There's good symbolism incorporated into some of the set design; in the bedroom the parents' picture is a good combination with the old songs. The child's will to have the best new thing, or to be as cool as, or cooler than all the other kids, compels him to enter a contest.<br/><br/>Toothpicks: Within the symbolic structures of the very, very good in contrast to everyone's intoxication with PlayStation, there is a positive message to the dynamic between Manel and the young girl, and then story becomes more beautiful. This film carries a relevant and imperative social message conveyed through fast moving and colorful storytelling and the use of very good music.<br/><br/>Sandip Pratihar/Cult Critic/CICFF
