Andoh not only serves as the director but also portrays the titular character, who is infamous for his disabilities and social rejection.

And it does not disappoint, with Princess Charlotte’s wedding dress, complete with gold threads of six different thicknesses. And the sumptuous court dress that juts out like a riot barrier.
