A Devil’s Tale (2021) 6

Czech Republic | 2021 | 29 min.

The devil Florimón is sent from hell in order to harm people, especially chimney sweeps. A magic mirror can also help, which, when broken, fulfills one wish. When Florimón meets the mute comedian Tradamila, he learns that it makes sense to wish for a better world than the one he knows. In the end, he uses the magic mirror not for himself, but to break Tradamila's curse. Florimon's fate is solved by love – the strongest spell.
