Synopsis: Not until four years after The Fox's Widow was the third fairytale movie, The Seventh Father of the House released - Caprino's personal favourite. This is a wonderful fairytale and a sharp satire on everyday bureaucracy. Caprino knew all about that - in fact, you might say that the movie was an indirect stab at the bureaucrats who had considered all his funding applications. Because the fairytale movies were never anything like a commercial goldmine, Caprino was forever having to go through the bureaucracy to apply for funding for his productions. The revenues were far from large enough to keep the film studio going in the long term. To keep the wheels turning, the studio turned to making commercials, of which 38 in all were made.
