Christmas Eve is a night unlike any other. On this night, Tyttyl and her sister Mytyl go to sleep peacefully. But as soon as they have closed their eyes, they meet a weak, old fairy who begs them to find the blue bird, the only thing that can save her sick little daughter. With the help of a magic hat, the children-guided and protected by the Light-journey to the Land of Memories, the Kingdom of the Night, and the Garden of Happiness, among other strange places, in their search for the mysterious bird. The world of such fantasies was destroyed by World War I; Maeterlinck's work remains a classic of children's literature. (French, 90 minutes)
