Death and the Mother

A Short video I had seen years ago. It's taken from an old Hans Christian Andersen story. A Mother's sickly daughter is taken from her by death. The Mother persues, but what she learns causes her to make a tough choice.

read this.. I am from denmark and so is the writer of this story. about 8 years ago i saw this short film i greece and remembered it for all these years. yesterday i felt like reading one of H.C. Andersens stories. I picked this one. I didnt know until then that it was the same story.. it was like deja vu.
