In his auteur productions, puppets look incredibly similar to people, they are human-sized, their gaze is full of hope and suffering, and their movements are well-grounded. Four actors, working with one character – the Old Signora, who, staying at the same place, delivers a lengthy monologue about a handsome drowned man, smokes, and plays with puppets – became the fully legitimate winners of THE GOLDEN MASK, which was a unique situation in the history of the award.
