The film explores painting’s denial through Giordano, who wrestles with a Sleeping‑Beauty‑like figure while confronting a child raped and abandoned in the snow. It asks whether untethered art—outside museums and academies—can restore the child’s will to live. Giordano, a Prince Charming bearing butterfly catchers and rotating optical devices, trudges through snow, suggesting that true revolutionary creativity may free, rather than imprison, the bird in its cage.
