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.

Independent on Sunday

The film seeks to induce a dream-like acceptance of the unlikely romance, but is not entirely successful.

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.
