Description

The Snow Queen (1957)
One frosty winter evening, when darkness creeps through the intricately painted windows of cozy warm houses, and a blizzard howls alarmingly in the yard, the Snow Queen carried little Kai away to her icy domain and turned his kind, sympathetic heart into a shard of ice. The girl Gerda sets out to look for her friend.

The Scarlet Flower (1952)
A merchant had three daughters. When he set off on an overseas journey, he promised to bring them gifts of whatever they wished. The two eldest asked for fabrics and beautiful trinkets. And only the youngest, his beloved Nastenka, ordered a wondrous, unseen miracle from her father - a scarlet flower that she had seen in a dream.

The Key (1961)
A tale about what is the real key to happiness.
