Description: 17th-century Madrid is not a kind place for a dwarf like Bartolome, and his family has to keep him hidden in a small back room. Then the king's little daughter, the Infanta, wants to have him as her 'human dog'. But life in the palace is scary and humiliating. Until Bartolome discovers the artist's studio.
