The 2017 film is about Ed - the custodian of a large city transit’s Lost Property Office. He seems as lost as the items he is looking after. In his basement office, he is kept company by a tiny toy robot and an old gramophone, both of which he has restored after finding them lost and broken at train stations.

However, Ed has been made redundant because now nobody visits the place any more. As the day ends, so does Ed’s mood and demeanour. But instead of abandoning his beloved office and the forgotten relics, he decides to re-appropriate them. What emerges from the darkened basement is wondrous and whimsical.

The art deco, post–industrial inspired world was realised by hand through cardboard over a preproduction period of 18 months. The entire film was fashioned from over 2,500 sheets of recycled cardboard, patiently hand-cut using 1,287 scalpel blades to create 1258 elaborate set pieces and delicate individual props.
