- Synopsis
- Faust is solicited by the devil’s assistants at a Prague subway exit, he agrees to sell his soul directly to Mephistopheles in exchange for 24 pleasure-filled years. The bargain is sealed, but Faust must first be turne into an actor, then into a puppet… A surrealist fantasy featuring surprising and imaginative clay animation combined with live-action and grotesque life-size marionettes. A modern myth offering illusions within llusions that illustrate the ordinary corruption, miseries and vanities of the human animal.
