Akiko is the warm-hearted daughter of a blacksmith. Out of resentment and envy, her stepmother makes sure that her father chases her out of the house and into the world. Desperate and hungry, Akiko wanders around. Nowhere can she find shelter or food and everywhere she goes she is cheated by people. Deep in the forest, she finally meets a she-wolf. The animal takes pity on Akiko and gives her an eyelash with which she can recognize the true nature of humans. And indeed, with the eyelash in front of their eyes, all passers-by are transformed into the strangest creatures. Only one remains unchanged despite the magic of the eyelash. It is a young charcoal burner whom Akiko follows deep into the mountains to his hut. Here she discovers a secret that will change their fate.

Director Kristine Stahl and set designer Bärbel Haage tell this traditional Japanese fairy tale in a gently modernized way and with a magical use of the medium of paper.
