In this eerie, old-fashioned book, young girl Hortense is not getting along with her shadow. Hortense manages to separate herself from her shadow and enjoys her independence until danger arrives in the form of bandits. When Hortense's shadow steps in and rescues her, the two come together again with a better understanding of each other. Wintry, shadowy art creates the right atmosphere for this darkly suspenseful tale.
