A small town on the Hungarian plain welcomes a circus, uniquely featuring the corpse of a whale and a mysterious prince. Ever since the circus arrived, all order has been disrupted, culminating in a conflict between greed and kindness… Behind the Production The production lasted four years with only 39 shots, collaborating with seven different cinematographers from the USA, Hungary, Germany, and France, crafting distinctive segments with each cinematographer's unique style. The narrative shifts from one character's point of view to another, as the Whale Circus appears in the town, featuring over six hundred non-professional extras, blending the realness of early documentary-style drama with precise staging and a strong visual style to illustrate the current state of Eastern European society—a situation at the center of European society yet the most marginalized in the international community.
