- Description
- 1 videocassette (58 min.) : sd., col.; 1/2 in.
- Summary
- This modern fairy tale for adults offers wry commentary on the predictability of small-time life. Unfolding in the manner of silent film, the offbeat story centers on Johan, the village baker who views the world with childlike innocence. At the breakfast table, he creates perfect little circles out of eggshells. Encouraged by his friends, Johan places an ad in the personals column and before long, it is answered by Eva, an awkward and lonely schoolteacher. A correspondence, then romance, ensues but Johan is not the one writing the letters. One day, Eva arrives, suitcase in hand and announcing that she has come to marry the baker.
