Storyline / Plot Summary

The story of a gentle-hearted beast in love with a simple and beautiful girl.

She is unable to return the key on time, but it is revealed that the Beast is the genuinely handsome one. A simple tale of tragic love that turns into a surreal vision of death, desire, and beauty.
