In an Argentine village in the 1930s, the willful Leonor (Luisina Brando) discovers that her beloved daughter, Charlotte (Alejandra Podesta), has dwarfism. Attempting to let her have as normal a childhood as possible, Leonor simply never discusses Charlotte's lack of stature, nor lets anyone else in the village ever mention it. As Charlotte grows up into a smart and self-possessed young woman, local eccentric Ludovico (Marcello Mastroianni), who collects miniatures, becomes smitten with her.

Audience Member A strange with many strange moments and just a plain weird plot. Many things about this film could put you to sleep but if you can stay through all the dull moments the story isn't all that bad. It offers a few laughs, weird parts and overall an odd plot with terrible acting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A sad but wonder fairy tale. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member upon your return from the movie theater your friends will ask you: so, which movie did you see? and you'll respond: I don't want to talk about it!
