Porcelain Unicorn

Porcelain Unicorn is a historical drama, which begins with an elderly man who is struggling with memories of 1943 Germany, a time when he was a member of the Hitler Youth Organization. As a 12 year-old boy, he had broken into an abandoned Jewish shop and discovered a frightened young Jewish girl trying to hide from the Nazi storm troopers. Their brief encounter in the situation of life-threatening danger led to a shared moment of tenderness, which forged a special relationship between the two children living in war-torn Europe. The sense of mutuality in that critical experience provided a foundation for an enduring hope in the possibility for emotional healing. The film invokes a message that conveys a strong conviction in the power of the human spirit to triumph over the trauma of catastrophic events.
