The Girl Without Hands

Story

A Grimm fairy tale, as spooky and psychedelic as they come. For reasons of great poverty, a miller makes a pact with the devil and himself commits an act of devilry: to protect his daughter against evil, he cuts off her hands. Thegirl begins an odyssey through the world at the end of which she does after all find her prince, who presents her with hands of gold – but the devil does allhe can to destroy the couple’s love. This animation has a unique, pulsating aesthetic, combining sketch and watercolour techniques with 2D computeranimation. A vibrant work of art and a fantastic mystical adventure.
