This
in-depth, full-length documentary explores the legendary 1972 Rothschild
Surrealist Ball at Château de Ferrières, where Baron Guy and Baroness
Marie-Hélène de Rothschild hosted 150 guests including Audrey Hepburn and
Salvador Dalí for the most spectacular private party of the 20th century,
featuring mirror-written invitations, burning palace illusions, cobweb
labyrinths, and elaborate surrealist costumes that marked the end of an era
before wealth taxes, paparazzi culture, and social changes killed the grand
private ball forever.
