A magical, otherworldly cinematic adaptation of Slavic folklore broadcast every Christmas in Slovakia, Jakubisko’s classic film tells the story of Perinbaba – known as Lady Winter, or the Feather Fairy – who lives in the sky, and brings snow to the world. Rescuing Jakob, a young boy, from an avalanche, Perinbaba - played brilliantly by Fellini’s wife and muse Giulietta Masina - faces a difficult choice when Jakob wishes to return to the real world when he falls in a love with a peasant girl. A breathtaking, cinematic fantasia, don’t miss the rare chance to see this cult classic of Slovakian cinema on the big screen.
