This short documentary offers a true insight into the intriguing, meticulous work of the Tooth Fairy. In a mixture of live action and animation we follow the journey of a child’s milk tooth through the course of one night. From the imaginations of young children to the mundane, grimy reality of the Tooth Fairy Factory, we are reminded that an element of magic is a special thing that should be preserved to help escape from the tedium of daily life.
