"The Nutcracker Girl" is a film in the therapeutic genre that symbolically addresses the issue of gender inequality. One Christmas evening, a little girl discovers toys under the tree—a rocking horse, an army of toy soldiers, and a dollhouse. One of the toy soldiers becomes interested in her cherished doll. While dancing together, he unexpectedly crosses a line by putting his hand under her skirt. Shocked, the doll rejects him, leading to a retaliatory act where he smashes her head. This incident initiates a series of events, offering the little girl a glimpse into the real world of adults, full of sexual needs, lust for power and the pursuit of personal satisfaction.
