Molly wants to hear a story so Leo tells her about how he lost his reflection that morning while shaving. Austria's submission to the Academy Award foreign film competition in 1984.

Originally produced for Dutch TV this vision of four different film makers begins with the fluid strains of Mendelssohn's classical masterpiece. Suddenly the concert hall is transformed into a fabulous forest where a light-hearted fairy escaped the clutches of her lord, and with the help of the devilish Puck, tumbles head over heels into a magical and bizarre love adventure. At the end the famous wedding march blossoms on to the screen with the magic of the animator's brush.
