Based on a 19th century tale, this self-referential fantasy, complete with musical and animated interludes plus a cast of fairytale characters, tells the story of a bet between an old man and a fairy over a bag with two gold coins.

Loosely based on the 19th century children's story, "Purse with Two Coins" by the Romanian writer Ion Creanga, this playful fantasy romp complete with musical and animated interludes, tells the story of an old man who makes a bet with a fairy that he can hide a bag with two golden coins from her for a week. The central character is a cyborg rooster, born out of a union between a love struck chicken and a metal cockerel shaped weather-vane, that finds the bag. Along the way we meet the old man's wife, the fairy's husband, known as the King of Dragons, a traveling circus performer and his beautiful daughter, a love struck musician, Prince Charming, his consort Ileana Cosanzeana and a pair of unlucky thieves.—kosmikino([email protected])
