Короткометражный мультфильм, основанный на серии детских книг Людвига Бемельманса. В 1935 году американский писатель женился на Мадлен Фрейнд, а спустя четыре года вышла его первая книга «Мадлен» о беспечной маленькой парижанке, обеспечившая автору широкую известность. У первой истории шесть продолжений. Сюжет одного из эпизодов многосерийного издания лег в основу этого мультфильма. Юная Мадлен воспитывается в пансионате для девочек. Она растет ровесниц — похожих на нее, как две капли воды хорошеньких девчонок, учится хорошим манерам, танцует и постигает грамоту. Но все-таки Мадлен отличается от своих подруг, начиная с того, что она не боится мышей и даже тигров.

In an endless loop, unexposed film runs through the projector. The resulting projected image shows a surface illuminated by a bright light, occasionally altered by the appearance of scratches and dust particles in the surface of the damaged film material.

Interweaving the forms of personal filmmaking, abstract animation, and the rock opera, this animated musical documentary examines the rise and fall of a nearly-defunct poster and postcard wholesale business; the changing role of physical objects and virtual data in commerce; and the division (or lack of) between abstraction in fine art and psychedelic kitsch.
