Plots(1)

The movie dives deeply into the innate contrast between the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Pride and Envy) and the Seven Sacred Teachings (Love, Respect, Wisdom, Courage, Truth, Honesty and Humility), as embodied in the life of a precocious Métis baby. Brought to life by darkly beautiful stop-motion animation, her inner turmoil of abuse is laid bare with unflinching honesty. (Anifilm)
