NUTCRACKER GIRL

POLISH TITLE: DZIEWCZYNKA DO ORZECHÓW

Christmas is the magic time when snow falls, the family gets together and toys become alive. On this special evening, a little girl sees her doll embark on a great adventure. The magic is gone the moment a wooden soldier puts his hand under the doll’s dress while they are dancing together. This incident reveals a completely unknown sphere of life to the girl, the one encompassing violence and sexuality. The fairy-tale mood gives way to an unpleasant atmosphere and the child-like drawing animation turns into realistic images. A story about growing up and discovering carnality to the tune of Tchaikovsky’s ballet.
