In this dark fairy tale from the directors of "Delicatessen", a prematurely aging
mad scientist named Krank kidnaps children so he can steal their dreams. However, Krank runs
into trouble when his henchmen grab Denrée, a little boy whose adopted brother, One, is a
circus strongman. One desperately tries to find Denrée and begs for help from Miette, a
9-year-old girl who heads up a gang of orphans. Together, One and Miette finally find Krank's
castle, and a struggle for the lost children ensues
Rated R for mature themes and profanity.
