description: A star falls from the winter sky into a wood, and there two shepherds find a strange infant. Though exquisitely beautiful of face and form, the Star-Child turns out to be a cruel and selfish boy. One day, he taunts a poor beggar-woman who, to his horror, then claims to be his mother. This classic Oscar Wilde story, brought vividly to life by Jindra Capek's colourful and dramatic pictures.
