The film's sets were designed by Boris Bilinsky. The plot was based on an original story written by Bernard-Deschamps himself. It is notable for its break with conventional realism, with several scenes that push towards outright fantasy.[1]
The film had trouble securing distribution and initially premiered at an art house venue. It was only during wartime, when it benefited from a national shortage of films, that it received a general release.
An average worker who feels downtrodden at work and home, dreams of becoming a dictator. His aunt has her own fantasy that the love-of-her-life, a fairground magician, will return to her once more.
