A visually stunning dark fantasy musical that balances gothic macabre with genuine warmth and romantic yearning, told through the whimsical lens of stop-motion animation.

In a 19th-century European village, a young man about to be married is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious corpse bride, while his real bride waits bereft in the land of the living.
