Sinopse

In the glittering court of a powerful queen, vanity and self-obsession reign supreme. Ambitious courtiers drink from a magical fountain that amplifies their most narcissistic traits, leading to absurd and comical displays of arrogance. Through a series of intricate masques and witty dialogues, the superficiality of high society is brilliantly dismantled. This satirical masterpiece serves as a biting critique of artificial manners and empty flattery. Beneath the laughter lies a sharp warning about the dangers of losing oneself to pure ego.
