The Shivering King

The poem-fable’s title character carved from wood, the eternally frozen, icy-hearted king, is afflicted by minus-degree cold, so he burns up all the wood of his country in the fireplace, until one day an innocent young girl raises her voice against the heartless actions of the king. This is the puppet film version of the poem-fairy tale by Ferenc Móra in which the young Ottó Foky debuted as the designer of puppet figures.
