My Little Princess Page #2

Synopsis: Violetta is raised by her grandmother. Her mother Hanna tries to make a living on taking photographs and concentrates on her dreams to become a famous artist. In order to succeed as an artist she doesn't worry about dating men of questionable reputation.[5] Only every now and then her mother visits her daughter but during these occasions it occurs to her that her daughter could be a potential model. She starts exploiting her daughter who by transforming into a kind of Lolita becomes increasingly alienated from other children of her age.[6] At school she is eventually frequently insulted and rejected.[7] Then Mamie dies and Hannah's photographs are about to unequivocally overstep the line of acceptability.[8][9] Hanna even coerces Violetta mercilessly into cooperation by withholding her food in case she doesn't agree to pose for increasingly daring photographs.

Better than your crummy paintings.

Bravo, Hanna.

Bravo.

- For you, her and Grandma.

- Thanks.

And so you can get some

decent photos developed.

Did you see how my women

are enchanting and intoxicating?

With heavy breasts...

...and hair like Arabian drapes.

- Yes.

Their rumps are...

splendid!

Yes.

It's exceptional, Hanna.

I want you to continue.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop! Can't you see I'm choking?

Look what she's done!

- Why did you do that?

- Do what?

Violetta! Violetta!

Why did you smear his painting?

I didn't do it on purpose.

Oh, come now.

Is Ernie your boyfriend?

No, not really.

Your mother is a physiophobe.

End of story.

Physiophobia

is claustrophobia of the flesh.

Picture yourself in a lift

going up, up, up.

It's full of people and...

you can't get away and...

and you can't take it anymore.

What about Dad?

Listen, darling.

You need to know that fathers

are a major handicap of nature, ok?

Dear God,

please don't let anything happen

to my girls, especially Violetta.

Watch over her heart and her soul.

Keep evil away from her.

Oh Lord, I'm begging you.

It's my very own television.

Get ready.

I'm just checking my light meter.

Is this good, Mom?

Is the pose ok?

Yes, it's interesting.

Do you know who you look like?

It's crazy.

Like Shirley Temple.

I know you don't know her.

Who is Shirley Temple?

Shirley Temple was a little girl

who sang and danced like you.

She looked a lot like you.

She was a little girl

from Hollywood!

Do you want... Here...

More lipstick.

Blood red.

The little mouth.

You're Shirley Temple,

violet vendor in the stars, ok?

Yes, ok.

You'll put this on.

I don't want to.

But you can be a prima donna.

No...

I want this.

Ok, can you act like an enchantress?

Look here. How do the stars do it?

Very good.

It's exactly that.

You can work it.

I don't know how,

but you work it.

Oh, very pretty!

The eyelids down. Very pretty.

Ok. Let me introduce you to...

a friend.

The Bald Narrator.

He's appalling!

But that's what's poignant!

It's deeply moving.

Take him.

It sickens you?

That's it.

It's ugly. I don't like it.

It's white.

It's lovely.

It's soft.

Who did your hair?

It's like cotton candy!

My mom and I take pictures.

- It's fun!

- It's wicked!

Oh my God!

What's that?

She's the devil's daughter.

She's his daughter.

I'll chase you away, Satan!

Grandma?

Grandma?

Grandma, what's wrong?

Turn off that TV. I can't stand it.

There's nothing but crap

on that idiot box. Here.

Let in air. It's greasy.

The meatballs are still cooking.

Well, I don't feel well.

I just have one question for you.

I want to eat calmly now.

I won't stay long. I'm sorry.
