Synopsis by Joshua Kochis
A poor miller is tricked into trading his young daughter to the Devil for material wealth, but when her purity prevents him from claiming her, the Devil has her hands cut off. She then sets out on a journey as the Devil continues to interfere with her life, and she eventually falls in love with a king who gives her new hands made of silver. Written and directed by Sébastien Laudenbach, this animated film is based on a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.
