This film is a video-recorded performance of a landmark play from French surrealism, which was staged as a musical for the first time ever. Libretto and music are by the well-known Greek composer Stamatis Kraounakis. He himself portrays the main role of Victor: a child prodigy from a bourgeois family, who, on his ninth birthday, decides to ruin everything, revealing his father’s adultery and unraveling all the hypocrisy and family disintegration, as well as dismissing his class.
