I have two powers; that of producing beauty, and that of creating characters and actions that do not exist, yet which take us on a journey through different worlds, as if on a magic carpet. I put these talents to use with great enthusiasm. I have found the vehicle which allows me to tell my stories. The two children in Tales of the Night ply my marvelous trade, in the company of an ageing technician. They invent, dress up, and act out the enchant story in a charmed land. I take great delight in tales, in the arrangement of those little mechanisms which start whirring away. These are gifts that I offer to people, because I like to give pleasure, both on a superficial level, and I hope also deeply. SYNOPSIS Every night, a girl, a boy and an elderly technician meet in a little cinema that seems abandoned, but is in fact full of wonders. The three friends research, draw, invent, dress up and act out the stories that take their fancy in a magical night where anything is possible — sorcerers and fairies, powerful kings and stable boys, werewolves and merciless ladies, cathedrals and straw huts, cities of gold and deep forests, the waves of harmony of choirs immense and the spells of a single tom-tom, malice that ravages and innocence that triumphs… TALES OF THE NIGHT PRESENTED BY MICHEL OCELOT THE WEREWOLF Two sisters are in love with the same handsome horseman.
