Favole

Cottingley village, summer 1917. A Brownie camera lies on a sun-warmed picnic blanket. Two cousins, Frances and Elsie, snap a picture of dancing paper fairies and show it to adults whose war-weariness makes them hungry for wonder. A director steeped in British folklore turns a local myth into a sepia dream no skepticism can fully erase.
