Movie

Pyotr, a Polish boy from Budapest, has been obsessed with books since childhood, especially one in particular. According to Jewish legend, this book - the Silver Crown - can raise the dead. It is with this book in her arms that Esther, a student from Pest, arrives to restore the tombstone of a rabbi in Krakow. The seemingly endless intrigue begins, seemingly driven by an ancient Jewish spinning game: the trenderli. It revolves around the fate of old and young, it evokes Pyotr's dead grandmother, and it is the mysterious game that is the story of the Miracle Worker, who appears out of nowhere.
