The Ball of Their Lives
A documentary by Tamás Wormser
Toronto’s Helicon Ball and Montreal’s St. Stephen’s Ball are the largest debutante balls in North America. Begun fifty years ago to keep alive a tradition that vanished in socialist Hungary, they now draw hundreds of guests from around the world to relive the grandeur of the belle époque.
