The Girl Without Hands
A family, the Devil, a prince, a goddess : a girl without hands faces her destiny.
Directed by Sébastien Laudenbach
Produced by Les Films Pelléas, Les Films Sauvages
A dark fairy tale about suffering, redemption, and spiritual purity, where a mutilated girl's journey toward freedom becomes a meditation on faith and transformation.
A poor miller gets tricked by the Devil and accidentally sells his daughter for a bit of gold. But Satan can't take her because she's too pure and has wept on her hands. So Satan orders the miller to cut her hands off. It's the beginning of the young girl's journey towards freedom.
