On Account of An Elf

The supporting cast of characters takes centre stage in this (seasonal/)social satire (set in a not-so-fantastical North Pole). Vast numbers of elves dedicate themselves to the production of toys in the ultimate workers' paradise while the all-knowing marketing division directs their efforts.

Just before her retirement, elf Bronislava, head of production in the Yuletide Autonomous Region, journeys to the North Pole to make a bold request of her sister. This parody of holiday excess pits one sibling against the other while probing two vastly different worldviews. The drastic resolution imperils them both.
