A small town located in the Hungarian plains welcomes a circus, uniquely featuring the corpse of a whale and a mysterious prince. Since the circus arrived in the town, all order has been disrupted, leading to a conflict between profit and goodness... Behind the Production The production took four years with only 39 shots, collaborating with seven different cinematographers from the USA, Hungary, Germany, France, and more, creating various fascinating scenes with their unique styles. The narrative shifts from one character's perspective to another in a rotating manner, with the whale circus's presence in the town involving over six hundred non-professional temporary actors, blending early documentary-style realism with precise staging and a strong visual style to express the current state of Eastern European society, a situation that is at the center of European society yet remains on the fringes of the international community.
