What Queen Callipygos said; ever see Tarsem Singh's The Fall? The film, set in early twentieth-century Los Angeles, deals with the friendship that develops between a six-year-old Eastern European immigrant girl and a Hollywood stuntman convalescing in the same hospital; a lot of screentime is devoted to the ongoing tall tale, very loosely based on the Western movie he'd been working on, that he makes up to amuse her.

The story-within-a-story is portrayed as Alexandria imagines it, with splendidly outrageous results; for example, her Old-World frame of reference casts the "Indian grieving for his squaw" as a turbaned, bearded, and scimitar-brandishing Asian, and Luigi the fireworks expert as a Chinese.
