THE DWARFS AND ORPHAN MARY
POLISH TITLE: O KRASNOLUDKACH I SIEROTCE MARYSI
This documentary is one of its kind, with eponymous dwarfs as protagonists. It presents the life of dwarf actors, both professional and private. Travels in cramped carriages over villages and towns are intertwined with comic performance on stage. Children, who observe everything, burst out in laughter on one occasion and remain dead serious on another.
