Plot
The movie The Toy talks about a little boy that’s trying to prove his father wrong by acting exactly like him. His father “buys” people and nothing can stop him from getting what he wants. His son does not see why he cannot do the same and decides to buy a man, who he encountered at the toy shop. The man he chose happened to be a journalist at his father’s newspaper. Gradually with the help of his “toy” the boy manages to prove his father’s wrong deeds by exposing them in the newspaper produced by him and his “toy”. Along this journey the boy establishes warm relationships with the man and refuses to stay with his father any longer. The message behind the story is that love matters more than money.

by: Troubled CoastA man and his youth
You are who you were
Men in white, whispers in the dark
You are who you were
Moscow in my ear whispering fear
Paris burns underground
Paris sleeps just underground
So tie me down
Send me away from here
When nothing makes sense but stilling memories in your head
Let me go, find a way on our own
But, just wait for me with hair-in-wind
Hands-in-teeth, for nothing else
Hey maker, I think I was meant for this
A frozen sun, a woman's face are all I have, are all I need
You were who you were then we met in the silence and peace
You're quiet, eyes are tame
So tie me down
Send me away from here
When nothing makes sense but stilling memories in your head
Let me go, find a way on our own
But, just wait for me with hair-in-wind
Hands-in-teeth, for nothing else
I can't save you
You can't save me
Take your peacetime needs, let go of me
Take your peacetime hopes and bury them
Take your peacetime love and marry her
Take your peacetime wants and tie me down
Take your peacetime life and reassess
Take your peacetime hopes and swallow hard
Take your peace time thoughts and all of your peacetime memories
And don't tell a soul
So tie me down, send me away from here
When nothing makes sense but getting way from here
Let me go, find a way on our own
