Sin City è una città nera, dove la notte non tramonta mai, abitata da una schiera di personaggi più cupi della notte stessa. Tutti cattivi, ognuno a modo suo: Marv, tenero bestione con un talento creativo per la sofferenza altrui; Kevin, ragazzo emotivo che ritrova la serenità divenendo uno spietato divoratore di esseri umani; la sua abietta guida spirituale il cardinale Roark, padrone della città; Dwight, fascinoso criminale che asseconda il suo destino e dispensa morte a piene mani; Gail, sua amata e regina delle prostitute che governano la città vecchia, donne che danno grande piacere, se si paga bene e si sta alle regole, o grande dolore, se si va oltre il seminato; un bastardo giallo, che violenta e mangia bambine impunito, coperto dal mostro suo padre che è anche Senatore della città, e contrastato solo da Hartigan, uno sbirro sul viale del tramonto disposto ad una carneficina per fermarlo e salvare Nancy, timida ballerina di lap dance.

This short documentary looks at the animated art of Lotte Reiniger. We are taken through a demonstration by Lotte herself on the way she cut out, constructed and filmed a silhouette character. She also discusses how she developed the use of coloured gelatines for her backgrounds. To illustrate her output, the documentary includes extracts from several of her films including Papageno (1935), The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) and The Frog Prince.
About the loss of a mother, with her unexpected exuberance, but who also cries Puccini melodies. A short poetic collage, as fleeting as the blink of an eye, where sounds and images are superimposed to evoke the at once peaceful and tormented memory of a mother.
