Pimporello

Description

Celebrated mime Marceau voices his personal artistic credo in this short, deceptively simple tale. Pimporello, a middle-aged, disillusioned Italian street mime down on his luck, befriends Nina, a shy, frightened orphan who idolizes him. Each deceives the other with a big white lie, the unmasking of which produces shattering consequences. Believing that his art reflects humanity's desire for a better life, for goodness, peace, and justice, Pimporello feels he carries a heavy burden.
