On a village green somewhere in deepest Somerset, a paper heart is caught in the wind. It flutters from the fingers of a little girl who had been practising writing her name on it, MathildaMathilda.

The heart lifts and the breeze blows it into the air.

On the other side of the village in a plastic bag hidden in the corner of a dusty old artists studio, an artist’s broken childhood doll, mixed with other doll parts begins to shuffle, until they make a whole. A beautiful doll with two heads. The heart blows through the window and gently lands on the dolls breast. MathildaMathilda opens her eyes, rolls them around and starts… she is alive! But what is she?
