A whimsical animated retelling of Persephone's myth, balancing melodramatic abduction with a tender resolution and the natural beauty of seasonal transformation.

The goddess is greeted by dancing flowers and fairies. The devil comes and takes her away to be his queen. She's despondent, as winter settles in above ground. But the devil isn't happy either, and offers anything to make her happy. They reach an agreement: she'll spend six months above ground and six below. Thus we have seasons.
