Gautier Vidril

French countryside, 19th century. A peasant woman finds herself in possession of a magical object: a monkey's paw that can grant wishes. She decides to use it, only to realize that the wishes are actually curses she must endure until the end...

It's the day of the funeral of Alexis, a talented 23-year-old dancer. His friend and dance partner, Aristide, unable to accept his death, takes refuge in the room dedicated to Alexis to express his regret at not having assumed their love while he was alive. In the darkness of the candlelit room, Aristide, in despair, imagines Alexis imprisoned in a hellish choreography and seizes this last chance to hold his soul close to him forever before his body disappears forever.
