Turning

Synopsis

On his sixth birthday Robert receives three beautiful old ladies in his mother's sitting room. Through his eyes we visit the memory of an afternoon: gifts scuttle across the floor, strange visions appear between knobbly knees, and the bird-like ladies tell a magical tale of an emperor with no skin.
