The Porcelain Doll
A feature film based on the novella collection Csillagmajor (Star Farm) by Ervin Lázár. Once upon a time there was the Tanya. Somewhere in Hungary. More precisely: in Europe. Closer still: on a planet called Earth. Here, on this Tanya, lived loving, naive and refined farm people. Occasionally, strange people would come to this farm. And then all hell would break loose. Because with strangers came death. And destruction. And hatred. And envy. And vanity. And shame. And lies. On this farm, strangers have always been trouble.
