content: Edited film: the painting of Easter eggs is still exalted in the town of Mardorf. The film shows three girls decorated uncolored eggs with wax embellishment. When the eggs are dipped into hot dye, the shell is colored and not the waxed areas. Later the wax is wiped from the eggs, which now appear to be white on a dyed background.
