Tale of the Star-Child

The film is based on Oscar Wilde's works, particularly 'The Star-Child' and 'The Birthday of the Infanta' from his collection 'A House of Pomegranates.' Unlike its predecessor, 'The Star Boy' from 1958, this adaptation introduces significant plot changes, including a shift away from magic to a more science-fiction oriented narrative.

Featuring a cast that includes Pavel Chernyshev, Gražina Baikštytė, and Rostislav Yankovsky, the film explores themes common in family-friendly narratives while blending fantasy and science fiction. The unique approach to storytelling may appeal to collectors interested in adaptations of classic literature, especially those that offer a fresh perspective on well-known tales.
