At a theatre during a performance of Dangerous Liaisons, a young costume dresser is having an affair with an actor, but gets a taste of reality when the leading lady discovers her partner's infidelity.
Торжественная обстановка встречи прибывающего в родной город всемирно известного оперного певца оказывается под угрозой из-за мальчика Себастьяна, который неожиданно влюбился в новую горничную. Один неверный шаг - и скелеты начинают вываливаться из всех шкафов.
Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale is told here as a digital theater piece. The visual point of departure is fashioned by découpages created by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, who is also the narrator. The découpages serve to establish the mood around the story of the children, Kaj and Gerda. They consist of a countless number of clippings, which are subsequently subjected to the processes of computer animation and mixed with graphics, live actors and music into an unique fairy tale universe.
