Leonor, a widow in a small South American town, gives birth to Charlotte, a dwarf. The mother not only provides a rich childhood for her daughter, she erases any clues her daughter might see that would lead her to think she is different (mother burns books such as "Snow White" and destroys lawn statues of gnomes). In short, she doesn't want to talk about it. The mother succeeds in creating a modern-day Rapunzel: Charlotte becomes an accomplished young woman who captures the heart of Ludovico. But then, the circus comes to town.

The film follows Gabriel Angel (Rakie Ayola), a young Caribbean aviator who falls in love with the forger Duncan Stewart (Jonathan Pryce) on her journey to England.

Brothers Martin and Simon, not yet teens, are incorrigible vandals; Martin runs away from reform school, Simon from foster homes, and they always find each other in a seacoast town of Lignan, where their destructive behavior is infamous. (It may date to their mother's leaving the family.) Martin is philosophical, romantic, and poetic: he dreams of being the son of a shark; he holds tight to a book about goldfish his mother gave him. In both halting and wild ways, he tries to court Marie, a neighbor girl. Simon, with a pocketknife and an intractable will, seems more dangerous to others. What, on earth, is there for these children-becoming-men?

나는 ‘재일 교포의 메카’로 불리 우는 도시, 오사카에서 태어나 오빠 셋의 귀여운 막내 여동생으로 자랐습니다. 아버지는 15살에 고향인 제주도를 떠나 일본으로 오셨고 해방을 맞은 후 정세에 따라 북한을 ‘조국’으로 선택하셨습니다. 그 무렵 아버지는 어머니에게 첫 눈에 반해 열렬히 프로포즈하여 결혼에 성공하셨다고 하는데, 평소 엄격한 성격의 아버지도 이 얘기가 나올 때면 얼굴을 붉히며 부끄러워하시곤 합니다. 부모님은 결혼 후 함께 열정적으로 정치 활동을 하셨고, 오빠들이 청소년이 되자 한 번도 본 적이 없는 ‘조국’인 북한으로 보낼 결심을 하셨습니다. 오빠들이 떠나던 날. 6살이었던 나는 ‘귀국’의 의미도 모른 채 끊임없이 눈물을 흘렸습니다. 어머니는 오빠들을 태운 배가 사라진 후에도 한참 동안 자리에 서서 먼 바다를 바라보셨습니다. 나는 당시 어머니의 마음을 죽을 때까지 헤아릴 수 없을 것이라 생각합니다. 이후 평양의 실정을 들은 어머니는 오빠들에게 물자를 보내기 시작하셨습니다. 어린 조카가 난방이 안된 학교에서 동상을 입었다는 소식을 들은 후로는 “이런 짓은 어미 밖에 못해준다”고 웃으시면서 겨울마다 큰 상자에 일회용 손난로를 가득 담아 보내주고 계십니다. 오빠들과 달리 자유롭게 살고자 했던 나는 자연히 아버지와 갈등이 깊었고, 심지어 대화조차 안 하던 때도 있었습니다. 그러던 어느 날 나는 아버지의 인생을 카메라에 담아 볼 것을 결심했고 10년간 렌즈를 통해 아버지를 지켜보았습니다. 그리고 나의 마음은 점차 변해 갔습니다. 머리로는 전혀 이해할 수 없었던 아버지의 삶이 가슴으로 다가오며, 미움은 그리움으로, 갈등은 사랑으로 변해갔습니다. 어느 날 오빠들을 북한으로 보낸 것이 후회 되냐고 묻는 나에게 아버지는 진솔한 답변을 해 주셨고 난 앞으로 아버지와 더 깊은 대화를 할 수 있을 것 같았습니다. 하지만 곧 예상치 못한 일이 벌어지게 되고, 나는 아버지와 좀더 일찍 대화를 했더라면 좋았을 것이라는 뒤늦은 후회를 하게 되었습니다.
